Each item tells a story of loss\, strength\, resilience and pride.  \nWARNING: This exhibition contains subject matter that may be disturbing to some visitors and may be triggering. Please call 1-866-925-4419 or your local crisis line for counselling and support.     \n  \nAbout the Biinaagami Water Map  \nThe Biinaagami Water Map is a giant floor map that uses augmented reality (AR) to take visitors through the Great Lakes—St. Lawrence watershed\, giving voice to the waters and amplifying Indigenous knowledge and histories. The map is enriched with storytelling—highlighting diverse languages\, the Indigenous names of these waterbodies\, and the history of the land among this network of waterways.   \nDownload the app in advance of your visit OR once you arrive:  \n  \nAVARA Discover – Apps on Google Play  \n‎AVARA Discover App – App Store  \n
