A Letter to the American Museum of Natural History

Summary

76% Informative

Peter Whiteley visited the Northwest Coast Hall of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City .

Whiteley: I noticed an important factual error in an exhibit element pertaining to the former Kamloops Indian Residential School .

The school operated on traditional lands claimed by the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation in the B.C. interior.

Many Residential-School attendees suffered cruel treatment.

No “unmarked graves” have been found at GPR -indicated locations in Kamloops ; let alone human “remains” In fact, Reuters story indicated that the remains of 215 children had been found.

I urge you to correct it in accordance with your museum’s stated mission to disseminate accurate information, scientific and otherwise, regarding the world around us.
