David's story isn't unique - thousands of 2SLGBTQ+ Canadians experienced abuse and discrimination over the span of 50 years. Now, people across Canada are starting to learn their stories.

From being forced to resign from his job to being subjected to experimental psychiatric “treatments,” David endured state-sanctioned violations of his rights.

David Nixon was only 19 when he started working for the federal government, but after the RCMP discovered he was gay, his life would change forever.

You can find this moccasin print on Level 1 in Bonnie & John Buhler Hall and Level 2 in Indigenous Perspectives.

A physical reminder of the lives that passed through and lived on these lands is this moccasin footprint. Ranging from 750-800 years old, this moccasin print was preserved by erosion and serves as a reminder that Indigenous peoples always have been, and always will be here.

This area, also known as The Forks, has been a meeting place for Indigenous peoples for over 6000 years.

The Museum is located on Treaty 1 territory, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Inninewak, Anishinewak, Dakota Oyate and Denesuline, and in the birthplace and homeland of the Red River Métis.

As we approach July 1, we're reminded that Indigenous peoples have lived on this land long before the creation of the country we now know as Canada.

On Saturday, June 28, join us and NFB at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights for the Manitoba premiere of “Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance.” Claim your free tickets here:
