Exhibit Launch: Gifts of the Ancestors

A brand new exhibit is coming together at the Rossland Museum! Our new permanent exhibit "Gifts of the Ancestors: Crafts & Knowledge of the Sinixt Way" will formally open Thursday, November 16th as part of the expansion and redevelopment of Sinixt content at the Museum. Incorporating stories, crafts, and ancestral baskets entrusted to our care by Sinixt Elders, Matriarchs, and knowledge-keepers, this new exhibit represents another step towards our goal of decolonizing the Museum and supporting Sinixt cultural resurgence. Join us for a Tobacco Offering Ceremony, a Blessing of the new exhibit, a showing of the short film Learning mxiɬp, and time to mix and mingle while taking in the new display.

Take a stylish look through Rossland’s history with us!

During Veterans Week (November 5-11), the RMDC will also have temporary exhibitions on Rossland's war effort in the J.D. McDonald Hall and at the Rossland Public Library.
