A Museum’s Role in Truth and Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
Museums came out of colonial practices and have a big role to play in communities now trying to reconcile with and better understand this history. How can museums be places for healing and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples? Join Acting Director of Museums and Galleries, Kate Wolforth, to talk about how museums are engaging in this work, and the recommendations for museums that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
