# [Theodore Fontaine's Impact and Legacy](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/theodore-fontaines-impact-and-legacy)

 Posted by [Facing History and Ourselves Canada](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/author/facing-history-and-ourselves-canada) on May 3, 2024

> "As Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has written, there is a difference between history and memory: **“History is information.  Memory, by contrast, is part of identity… Memory is the past as present, as it lives on in me.**”  Survivors, witnesses, the descendants of those who lived through \[histories\], and all those who learn about \[these histories\] today face the question of how to remember the past and how that memory might shape our understanding of ourselves and our present world" (*Holocaust and Human Behavior*, Facing History and Ourselves, 2017. p. 598).
> 
> In his testimony sharing,teaching and life, residential school survivor, and self-described *victor,* Theodore Fontaine frequently explored how memory lives on in the present:  His family’s love, the horrors of residential schooling, the joys of friendship, and the healing power of connection shaped and reshaped his life, his teachings and his works. In so sharing, those who listened became witnesses to his experiences, and many were transformed as a result.   
> 
> The following interviews build on our event, [Learning from Theodore Fontaine: A Call for Lasting Change](https://www.facinghistory.org/learning-events/learning-theodore-fontaine-call-lasting-change), and draw on the voices of additional friends and colleagues whose life and work act as living examples of Theodore’s teachings, his legacy and calls to action. We hope that these interviews will prompt deeper learning from Theodore and inspire readers to consider how his testimony and legacies might shape our understanding of ourselves and the choices we make.  
> 
> To watch his recorded testimony, please check out our blog,[*Honouring and Remembering Chief Theodore Niizhotay Fontaine*](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/honouring-and-remembering-chief-theodore-fontaine-as-we-carry-forward-his-testimony-and-work).
> 
> As you read these interviews:
> 
> - What **insights** do you gain about Theodore’s legacy and his hopes for the future?
> - What **questions** do the interview responses raise for you about yourself or the world around you?
> - How do the responses **extend** or **challenge** your thinking about the possibilities for living with trauma, hope and healing?
> - How are you **reflecting** on the possibilities for healing, hope and courage after trauma, as you read these reflections?

| ***For Ted, real reconciliation came through everyday acts of generosity and kindness. Our breakfast meetings were often punctuated by Ted recognizing passers-by and stopping them for a quick hello and always a joke... He connected, related, and celebrated their shared existence, and thereby cultivated knowledge and nurtured learning..."*** \- Andrew Woolford |

For the past few years, my school community school community at St. Joseph’s College School in downtown Toronto has recognized [October the 4th](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mmiw-missing-murdered-day-honour-1.4131205) as a day to honour the missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and LGBTQIA+ people.  Since 2017, our school community has worked collectively to use art and activism to spread awareness around this day in hopes of creating change. This is an important issue to us; being a school for girls and young women, gendered violence resonates particularly with our student population.
