The Pavilion: When Canadians First Had to Confront the Countrys Genocidal Story
Expo 1967 was the centrepiece of Canada\u2019s 100th birthday. Amid the crowds and the pageantry, one building stood out: The Indians of Canada Pavilion.\nThis was more than a tall glass tipi. It revealed (at least partly) Canada's sordid colonial history, and it challenged the myth of Canada being a peace-loving and tolerant society. We tell the surprising story of the historical experts who put this thing together, and the public's reaction to their work\nThis episode was produced in May 2020 as part of Darts and Letters predecessor,\xa0Cited. Polly Leger is the co-host alongside regular host and editor Gordon Katic. This was before the wave of discoveries of unmarked graves across Canada as horrific as the descriptions of residential schools are in this episode\u2026 the reality is worse, and we made this show before all that additional evidence had been discovered.\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-SUPPORT THE SHOW\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-\nYou can support the show for free by following or subscribing on\xa0Spotify,\xa0Apple Podcasts, or whichever app you use.
