Tell the WHOLE story (good and bad) of our country going as far back as technically possible (13,000+ years) and once you reach European presence (1497) start telling the stories with an interpretation of each of the groups involved. So, the same story might be told from a First Nations perspective, a European perspective, a Chinese railroad worker perspective, a Japanese internment camp inmate’s perspective, a German immigrant farmer’s perspective, etc.
I submitted a previous comment stating the the Museum experts are in one of the best positions. While I still hold that it is true, I also think it might be valuable to obtain input from the public (particularly the older people in our communities) in strategic ways to tap into local histories of relevance to all Canadians.
I work with the public and meet many people each day. It is always fascinating to interact with them, listen to their stories, and share information. People have so many great stories, experiences and memories to share. When I go to a museum, I find that people who are visiting with me often see a particular object that reminds them of an early childhood memories. Those are the best stories.
