The exhibition Indigenous "Voices of Today: Knowledge, Trauma, Resilience" bears witness to the still unrecognized knowledge of Indigenous peoples in Quebec and Canada as well as the deep wounds they carry and their incredible resilience.
About one hundred carefully selected cultural belongings from the Museum’s Indigenous Cultures collection are combined with more than eighty powerful inspiring stories (texts and videos) from members of the 11 Indigenous nations in Quebec, shedding light on their knowledge and philosophies. They speak out about their suffering as well as their dreams and plans for a better future to help restore their health, which has been undermined by the process of assimilation.
As part of an effort to initiate dialogue and foster understanding, the exhibition offers an opportunity for a meaningful connection.
