Exhibit features updated information about the resurgence of First Nations languages in the province
The Royal BC Museum reopened two exhibits in the First Peoples Gallery that was closed to visitors in January 2022.
The museum has brought together representatives from First Nations and Indigenous communities across the province to partner on the future of remaining areas of the First Peoples Gallery.“These spaces on the museum’s third floor share important Indigenous stories and this work is a reflection of the museum’s continued commitment to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act by delivering unique experiences for British Columbians,” CEO Tracey Drake said in a news release.
“I have great memories of working at the Royal BC Museum because all I ever wanted to do was work with my dad, Henry Hunt, and my wish came true,” Richard Hunt said. “When I was made my dad’s assistant, he decided it was time for him to leave because he had fulfilled a commitment he had with Mungo Martin to always have a Kwaguilth carving at Thunderbird Park. It was great to be back working at the museum and it was an honour to restore these family treasures.
