http://www.civilization.ca/myhistorymuseum/history-museum/my-own/ A public engagement initiative from the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:37:01 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 http://www.civilization.ca/myhistorymuseum/history-museum/my-own/comment-page-1/#comment-548 Pia Newell Santiago Mon, 29 Oct 2012 04:08:14 +0000 http://www.civilization.ca/myhistorymuseum/?post_type=history-museum&p=976#comment-548 I submit “My Own” because mine is the perspective which refuses to reduce the Canadian story to “one or two” perspectives which I find most interesting. Mine is the perspective which recognizes that the story of this nation has woven together the stories of Aboriginal people; European settlers; the educated elite; the general public; the powerful; the marginalized; of men; of women–none of whose stories or perspectives can justifiably be deemed less interesting or valuable than others.

In saying this I would enjoy museum exhibits that promote contrasting evidence and opinions that will provoke new thinking for me. Relying on someone else’s interpretation moves me out of history and into propaganda.
