SOUNDBITE: Linc Kesler, director of UBC’s First Nations House of Learning PLACELINE: Vancouver CREDIT: The Canadian Press LANGUAGE: English TRANSCRIPT: We hope it will be a place where people will really feel that they can come and explore and develop the beginnings of an understanding. What we are not trying to do is to create a space where people come in and get kind of a packaged view of what the Indian Residential Schools were. We don’t feel that that’s very respectful of the history or the people who experienced it, and it, it gives people perhaps a false impression that they have an understanding when they only have the beginnings of an understanding. So we do want people to understand how much information is potentially available, all of the things that they might learn if they had the time and interest to do so, but at least to walk away understanding that something very significant happened in our country and it is worth their understanding.
