The Canadian Museum for Human Rights opened in the fall of 2014 in Winnipeg & we had been wanting to spend a day there & yesterday was the day. The museum cost 351 million dollars to build & took many years to complete.
This red dress was one of the displays that I really wanted to see. This dress was worn by Mareshia Rucker of Abbeville, Georgia in 2013 in the first integrated prom for grads in Wilcox County High School.
This display is 14 000 hand pressed fired beads made from Red River Gumbo. The artist is Anishinaabe Rebecca Belmore.
Quote by John Diefenbaker.
This display is in the Canadian Journeys to draw our attention to missing & murdered Aboriginal women.
This gallery was difficult to view & so I didn't quite finish viewing it. We decided to go back again as we just couldn't take it all in in one day as we found there is so much to view & to process.
