One New National Historic Site

As a whole new generation of Canadians grows up there is a need for a new kind of historic site to showcase and explore the past of what is now known as Canada. There should be a historic site built to represent what happened to the First Nations here in Canada due to colonialism. It is important to know the history of the people who lived here, to find a suitable place to show the public, and to educate people who are oblivious of the past.
