Acknowledging history

I recently travelled to Germany and visited a work camp at Dachau.  Germany has found a way to acknowledge part of it's past that is painful to accept. I think we need to ensure that all aspects of history are acknowledged and taught. I think it is important to keep the statues of Sir John A. and the streets/schools named in his honour. I also think we need to find a way to acknowledge what happened to  indigenous populations. I don't know if there was ever a residential school in this area, but somewhere in Ontario (not necessarily Kingston) a living museum should be created. In Kingston, a memorial to acknowledge the indigenous populations of this area could be erected in City Park. I believe we need to find a way forward showing respect to both the colonials and the indigenous populations.
