The carefully selected exhibits, information, and artifacts provide tangible and visual evidence for exploration, reflection, and dialogue that support lessons in the classroom. Museums allow students to build upon prior knowledge – to see things differently.

Between 1880 and 1996, more than 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children were forced into Indian residential schools and thousands did not survive. Those that did survive suffered a loss of language, culture, family, and *self*. Many suffered abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to care for them.

It’s about the size of a quarter and it has the silhouette of a solitary candle carved out of the middle. Written around the candle are the words **Remember** and **Never Again.** It’s a simple, yet powerful design. A student, noticing this, asked me why I often wore it and what it meant. Instead of answering the question directly, I turned it back to her. I told her that a friend of mine had bought it for me at the [United States Holocaust Memorial Museum](http://www.ushmm.org/) in Washington D.C. and I asked her why we study the Holocaust. Why do we need to remember?

In the movie, Indiana accidently comes across the gigantic map room where Nazis are secretly planning their conquests. Leaders and rulers – and everyday citizens – throughout history (like Winston Churchill, for example) have had map rooms. My students needed one too.
