点评:Many American and Canadian people have only viewed Indigenous Culture from the TV screen. Most folks don't know some of the REAL reasons that Indian people lost their land, language and culture. It started with their children... who were forcibly removed from their families and homes. Transported to boarding schools to remove their "Indianness" and teach how to be "White". This museum shared some hard history in a positive setting with real people who share a chapter on the 'rest of the story' of how North America became what it is today. The grounds are beautifully covered with Native plants, animals and stories on Ojibwa (Chippewa) culture. The gift shoppe is stocked with fair priced Native made, one of a kind items (and other trinkets). A must see experience-we will return on our next visit!
翻译:许多美国和加拿大人只从电视屏幕上观看过土著文化。大多数人不知道印度人失去土地、语言和文化的真正原因。这一切始于他们的孩子……他们被强行带离家人和家园。被送往寄宿学校,以消除他们的“印第安性”并教授如何成为“白人”。这个博物馆在积极的环境中与真实的人们分享了一些艰难的历史,他们分享了关于北美如何成为今天的样子的“故事的其余部分”的章节。场地上布满了美丽的本土植物、动物和奥吉布瓦(奇珀瓦)文化的故事。礼品店里摆满了价格公道的本土制造的独一无二的物品(和其他小饰品)。必看的体验 - 我们下次访问时会回来!
