M1, ENTRY 2: Gabriel Dumont Institue of Native studies and applied research(Virtual Museum of Metis History and Culture)

This website provides many of proven resources and archival documents in visual, audio and video files. Also a lot of new materials, useful for general information and for educators, has been offered in the Virtual Museum of Metis History and Culture. The astonishing part of this virtual museum is this is an evolving website, meaning it is being updated continuously. Many of archival materials are donated by lots of people and institutes for the museum. I am so happy to find out this website that can allow ones who are ignorant of histories and cultures of First Nation to learn who they are or how they live. Especially, this website offers many other archive and museum websites as well as some websites related to indigenous culture and history.

  1. The virtual museum is a great resource, David! The UX of the website is tremendous: easily navigable and aesthetically simple. I’m in full agreement that this could serve as an ideal educational resource for teachers, as collected can be quickly accessed, explored, and even discussed. I imagine this would also provide a great foundation for written or discussion-based assignments.

    Wonderful contribution!
