Mark your calendars for September 7 and 8, 2024!
The highly anticipated Jasper Indigenous Exhibit recounts the hard truths that are long overdue. Central to the stories being told within the Jasper Indigenous Exhibit is the displacement of Indigenous People and the impact this history has on Indigenous communities to this day. Representatives from Indigenous communities connected to Jasper led the Exhibit design, artwork selection, drafting of text and planning for the opening ceremony.
“The Indigenous worldview will be promoted at the Exhibit. It’s all about the different languages and different timelines, some that have just arrived and some that have left. There are other Indigenous people coming in and learning their history. With this Exhibit, they can find out their ancestors were here and say, ‘Yes, I am Indigenous, and I am proud, I have a language and I have territory.’ It’s part of them.”
– Elmer Rattlesnake, Elder, Mountain Cree
