Several schools have created space for reflection with Indigenous artworks or art installations on campus. Lakehead University introduced an outdoor Every Child Matters installation at the heart of the Thunder Bay campus. The installation features seven white eagle feathers–embodying the Seven Sacred Teachings–on an orange background to commemorate survivors and those who passed away. Indigenous artist Jackie Traverse collaborated with students at Mary Duncan School in Manitoba on a mural drawing attention to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls that was installed on a walking path in the community. Grade 10 students from Whitehorse’s Porter Creek Secondary School created a graphic for orange t-shirts to sell as part of a fundraiser for the Yukon-based Committee on Abuse in Residential Schools. The University of Manitoba installed a heart garden with notes expressing empathy and commitment to reconciliation.
