The Beginning of Truth & Reconciliation
A better and more equitable future us coming – the acknowledgement of Indigenous rights is sweeping the country and paving way for the beginning of reconciliation.
As we move towards this new future, governments, organizations, and community leaders have been using terms such as ‘UNDRIP’, ‘Declaration Act’, or ‘Calls To Action’.
What exactly does this all mean? How does it affect the future of Indigenous People? Why do museums play a role in all of this?
To commemorate the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, stop by the museum to learn the answers to those questions, hear about the UN’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and see what museums across BC are doing to support their local Indigenous communities.
The museum will be open on September 30th 10 am to 4 pm.
On display until November 26, 2024.
