Expositions

Les documents et le matériel présentés dans les histoires du Centre national pour la vérité et la réconciliation (CNVR) favorisent la réconciliation et la guérison et permettent de s’assurer que l’histoire et les séquelles du système des pensionnats ne seront jamais oubliées.

Ces expositions contiennent une grande variété de documents et de matériels qui mettent au jour l’établissement et le fonctionnement des pensionnats autochtones ainsi que les politiques qui les régissaient, leurs séquelles sur les multiples générations d’Autochtones et leurs communautés et certains gestes posés dans un espoir de guérison et de réconciliation.

NCTR’s spirit name – bezhig miigwan, meaning “one feather”.

Bezhig miigwan calls upon us to see each Survivor coming to the NCTR as a single eagle feather and to show those Survivors the same respect and attention an eagle feather deserves. It also teaches we are all in this together — we are all one, connected, and it is vital to work together to achieve reconciliation.
