SUMMARY:The Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act
DESCRIPTION:The Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act is a special adaptation of the award-winning landmark exhibition that debuted at the Chinese Canadian Museum in Vancouver on July 1\, 2023 – the 100th anniversary of the Act. It takes an unflinching look at Canada’s exclusion years when\, for the first and only time in Canadian history\, the country banned the entry of a single community and issued immigration cards to Chinese who were born here. The exhibition focuses on the human impact and personal cost this law inflicted on Chinese people in Canada. The displays reveal haunting stories of loss\, despair and fear\, as well as powerful examples of courage and perseverance. \nCurated by award-winning Chinese Canadian historian Catherine Clement\, The Paper Trail exhibition involved extensive crowdsourcing of private documents and stories from families across Canada\, as well as hundreds of hours of painstaking research. \nPlan your visit today \nEntrance into this temporary exhibition is included with a Manitoba Museum All Attraction Pass. Manitoba Museum Members and Indigenous Peoples can access this exhibit at no charge. \n  \nThe Paper Trail exhibition opened May 1\, 2026 in recognition of Asian Heritage Month\, and is on display in the Manitoba Museum’s Discovery Room and Urban Corridor until April 2027. \n  \n  \nThis exhibition made possible with the support of Canadian Heritage.

This love and appreciation was only strengthened when Cynthia discovered her grandmother’s art\, which is housed at the Manitoba Museum. This discovery prompted her to extensively research the historical beadwork and embroidery patterns of her Cree-Métis ancestors\, specifically the bold and vibrant designs from Norway House that were produced during the fur trade in the mid to late 19th century. \nCynthia has since become a well-known and much respected artist. In 2020\, she was commissioned by the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre to produce a “resilience mask”\, and in 2024 she received an award at the Santa Fe Indian Market for her dog blanket titled “Muskwa’s Blanket”. In 2019 she was awarded the Barbara Cook Endres First Place Award for her stand-alone floral beaded piece\, “My Journey Home – Honouring Our Grandmothers”\, which appeared in the competition at the Manitoba Society of Artists Provincial Open Juried Competition. In 2018\, Cynthia was given an award for her beadwork at the Interlake Juried Art Show. Both competitions had rarely seen beadwork entered in the past. \n  \nTo be added to the waitlist for future moccasin workshops\, please contact Corinne at CAntoniuk@ManitobaMuseum.ca.

SUMMARY:Legends of the Northern Sky - Planetarium Show
DESCRIPTION:Returning to the Planetarium for Orange Shirt Days 2025 \nEmbark on a journey with the Indigenous peoples of the western plains of Canada and share in their wisdom conveyed by the stars. Alongside Ocek\, the fisher\, and his band of animal friends\, audiences take a dangerous expedition south to retrieve summer and return it to the frozen north. To the Plains Cree\, Ocek was forever running across the night sky\, ensuring the arrival of summer after the cold\, perilous winter. \nLearn how the great bully\, the giant bear Mista Maskwa\, was finally tamed by a brave band of birds. This adventure is mapped in the stars as the birds chase Mista Maskwa every night\, keeping us safe from his foul temperament. \nThe Indigenous people of North America connect with the night sky in fundamental ways that resonate with their world. In Legends of the Northern Sky\, we learn and appreciate their stories in the stars and in turn\, learn a little bit more about the spirit that connects us all. \nEnjoy a visit to the Planetarium with an All Attraction Pass or your Manitoba Museum Membership! Planetarium seating is now on a first-come\, first-served basis. Planetarium doors will open for seating 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time; just show your Manitoba Museum Membership card or non-Member All Attraction Pass at the door. \n  \nAdmission to the Manitoba Museum includes access to all three of our incredible attractions. Single attraction tickets and individual Planetarium show tickets are not available.  \n  \nGet tickets today! \n  \nWatch a trailer for Legends of the Northern Sky\, here: \n \n  \nClick here to find showtimes and details about our other Planetarium shows. \n  \n\n  \nLegends of the Northern Sky is generously supported by Travel Manitoba.
