Our Homes Are
Bleeding - Digital Collection
|
Welcome!
The
"Our Homes Are Bleeding" collection has grown out of the stories of
cut-off lands in British Columbia. These stories are a part of the
history of the reserve system in Canada, aboriginal title and rights
and First Nations resistance to colonial assertion of land title.
The digital collection draws together several types of primary
materials. The records of the McKenna McBride Royal Commission (1913 -
1916) include transcripts of testimonies given to the Commission,
photographs and maps. Additional historical records, including maps,
documents, newspaper articles, photographs, audio and video clips, show
the continual assertion of aboriginal title and rights. Resource lists,
narrative essays, a student webquest and teacher's resources have been
developed to support the use of the collection.
