The McCord Stewart Museum\u2019s new permanent exhibition, Indigenous Voices of Today: Knowledge, Trauma, Resilience<\/em>, invites the public to connect with eleven Indigenous nations in Quebec. Visitors take the titular three-part journey, which begins by shedding light on unrecognized forms of Indigenous knowledge, continues by exploring a shared and traumatic history, and concludes by recognizing and celebrating the incredible capacities of Indigenous resilience.
 
Part of the McCord Stewart\u2019s hundredth anniversary, and an example of the institution\u2019s decolonizing journey, the exhibition features one hundred objects from the museum\u2019s Indigenous Cultures collection, carefully selected by Innu curator Jean St-Onge. In collaboration with la Bo\u00eete Rouge Vif, an Indigenous not-for-profit dedicated to the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage, curator \u00c9lisabeth Kaine combined these hundred objects with more than eighty inspiring stories into a visually stunning visitor experience. Through engaging testimonies that prioritized Indigenous languages, speakers shared their dreams, experiences, and plans for a better future \u2014 a future no longer undermined by assimilation. Additionally, Indigenous designers and illustrators contributed to the development of marketing and visual materials.
 
Extensive and purposeful programming was developed for the general public, school groups, and post-secondary institutions, as well as for community organizations and businesses, all interested in building their awareness and deepening their understanding of Indigenous experiences. Indigenous Voices of Today <\/em>hopes to do more than just inform, but also to inspire visitors to learn more \u2014 and to do more \u2014 as active participants in the process of reconciliation.
