In this project, our group would like to focus on”Museums and Archives” , issue #68 (We call upon the federal government, in collaboration with Aboriginal peoples, and the Canadian Museums Association to mark the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation in 2017 by establishing a dedicated national funding program for commemoration projects on the theme of reconciliation.)
Our group wants to educate people on aboriginal culture and history. As a result to bring awareness of the mistake from the past. At the same time, link the aboriginals up with a strong bond. We also would like to highlight the importance of Aboriginal and indelible parts from Canadian history through the 150 anniversary.
