Need two days for this!
We walked across the Alexandra Bridge into Gatineau (Hull) and spent five hours at this museum, until our brains were overloaded. It is so well laid-out, doesn't sugar-coat the things that happened here to immigrants and First Nations, and should be seen by anyone going to Ottawa. There are some interactive displays which are fun, and truly imaginative set-ups.

Summer Offering
Visited the museum by booking tickets online for our family of 5. Access to the museum is limited to a 30 minute guided tour of the hall with the totem poles. Guide was very informative and definitely worthwhile. Also attended the indigenous dance performance. We go to a pow wow every summer, but of course they have all been cancelled for this summer. The performance was brief but definitely made us miss the pow wow experience that we won’t be able to enjoy this summer.
