Canada’s human rights museum was meant as a unifying force, but, so far, has only inspired criticism

Good overview of some of the criticism from the various communities on how their particular historical experience is portrayed in Canada’s national human rights museum in Winnipeg, opening next year. There is no way to satisfy any or all of the groups completely, given the nature of their experience and the understandable strong feelings that each of them have on how it is depicted.

And to further complicate matters, each group looks at their experience both in the particular sense, as well as making comparisons with how other groups are portrayed (or not).

However, one positive outcome (hopefully) will be more discussion about the historical experiences of these communities, and improve awareness.
