Really quickly, I have both a thank you and a question.
First, about 500 metres from my home, a Wendat village—the Mantle site, as it is called—was found. It is a site that has completely changed our thinking about our first nations and the villages that we thought they lived in. The scope of this find is monstrous, and I know that the museum has played a leading role there, or in helping to preserve some of the collection, some of the artifacts, that were found there.
In essence, thank you from our community, because the excitement around this is truly remarkable. We've learned that this village's cornfields, for instance, were the size of Toronto, and that there were some 70 longhouses. The interest that it has sparked within our local community has been truly unbelievable. Thank you for doing that.
Curatorially, how are you deciding what is going into the museums? What influences are you taking...? Do you have the independence that you need to make the right choices?
