PAGC to create virtual residential school museum
The Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) announced it plans to launch a new Indian Residential School Virtual Museum later this year.
“It’s a way to really educate people, both First Nations and non-First Nations, about the residential school system and experience of the PAGC First Nations,” said the virtual museum’s curator Jalal Fietz.
The museum features a timeline of life for First Nations residents before, during and after the residential schools came into existence.
“Really we want to look at three time periods, life just prior to residential schools, life during the residential schools, and the aftermath and how people are going forward after they left,” said Fietz.
