Sharing history

Today

Colouring illustration: Sharing history
An imaginary Wendat person and children in contemporary clothing; identity is named in the text, not suggested by physical stereotypes.

Today, the museum at Wendake shares the history and culture of the Wendat Nation. Listening and asking questions help us discover more.

Look together

What question would you like to ask?

An idea to try

Your child chooses a question they would like to ask in a museum. Help them put it into words, then take turns listening to an answer without interrupting.

For the adult reading along

A little more to discover

The Huron-Wendat Museum at Wendake preserves and shares the Wendat Nation's heritage. Its work connects objects, stories and the people who pass them on. This page returns to the present: Wendat culture is not limited to the older homes and objects encountered earlier in the book.

The person shown wears contemporary clothing and talks with children. Their identity is named in the text, not inferred from appearance. Encourage open questions and attentive listening. We can discover a community's stories without claiming to speak for it. The scene and its characters are imaginary.
