Moral Awakening<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

The purpose of the Moral Awakening exhibit page is to commemorate the 75th\u00a0anniversary of the use of atomic weapons, and one of Canada\u2019s links to this history. It is a heritage that connects Indigenous peoples, Canadians, and people all over the world who are concerned with peace, reconciliation, and social justice. The film contributes to the debate on the utility and value in nuclear weapons in an interconnected world. But the main goal is to acknowledge the service and sacrifice of the Dene people of D\u00e9l\u0131\u0328n\u0119, Northwest Territories, Canada, a story long silenced.<\/p>\n

The film involves different locations across Canada as we piece together the incredible story of mining and transporting iron ore from Port Radium on the Great Bear Lake to Port Hope for refining, and then on to the United States for use in the Manhattan Project.\u00a0The Dene People were hired to work as ore bag carriers and on the barges. In the decades that followed, many began to reflect on the impact of the mining and the legacy of the atomic bomb on the health and spiritual well-being of the community and it people. In telling their story, the Dene demonstrate their fortitude as the community moves forward to achieve greater control of its own future.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0War Heritage Research Initiative<\/a>\u00a0has produced over 30 short documentary films profiling Canada\u2019s heritage of the world wars, both in our country and overseas. Using sites of memory as gateways to the past, we look to local storytellers deeply connected to these places, people we call \u2018guardians of remembrance\u2019. They help us to understand the significance of learning this heritage, how it shapes understandings of who we are, and how we can be inspired to make a better world. The film is for educational purposes and we welcome sharing the link to this website and participation in the discussion forum.\u00a0For more information about the War Heritage Research Initiative, please\u00a0contact us here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
