They've been closed for decades, but residential schools are still having a significant impact on Aboriginal youth in this country.
That was the message Thursday from one group at Lakehead University as the school celebrates Aboriginal Awareness Week.
This multimedia exhibit from SEVEN Youth Media Network features pieces from Nishnawbe Aski Nation youth about the effects of residential schools.
The group's youth advisory committee has been collecting submissions for more than a year, and they include art, poetry and music.
Director for SEVEN, Grace Winter, said this was a perfect week for the group to unveil the exhibit.
Winter added that the impacts are still being felt and it's not an issue Aboriginal youth are going to roll over on.
The exhibit will be on display at the LU Agora until Friday.
