A Cultural Portal for Kwanlin Dün First Nation
Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre的点评
点评：Open since 2012, the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre functions very much as a bastion of culture, not just for the Kwanlin Dün First Nation but, I would argue, for all of Whitehorse. How come? Well, many of the primary exhibits detail Kwanlin Dün history, but they do so in a way that addresses colonialism and its impacts. Importantly, this addressing of historic displacements and the pain it has caused (culturally, psychologically, intergenerationally) isn’t done so in a negative way. The displays, which focus on “new ways of life” and “back to the river,” ask us to re-examine our own cultural biases while concomitantly strengthening Kwanlin Dün culture. Indeed, “culture” is not static or museum-like. It is ever evolving and transforming into something new; hence, the importance of the juxtaposition of the historic displays with the contemporary. It’s a beautiful synthesis of the classic and the modern.
I’d been curious to patronize this dynamic Centre ever since my last visit to Whitehorse in 2014. Unfortunately, time got the better of me a decade ago and I didn’t make it. This time, though, I made sure to check it out. The Centre was a focal point of the Rendezvous festival – something I don’t think was the case a decade ago – so this was nice to see. At the time of my visit, there was a live band performance inside the “Long House” and it was pretty jamming. Almost made me reminisce about the Sheepdog’s performance in Shipyards Park ten years ago! After taking in some of the music, I ambled about the Centre and observed some of the permanent displays. Surprisingly, it didn’t take very long to get through the Centre. I don’t know – it was informative, but I thought there’d be more to it. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by other Indigenous cultural centres elsewhere?

翻译：自 2012 年开放以来，Kwanlin Dün 文化中心就成为了文化的堡垒，它不仅为 Kwanlin Dün 原住民服务，而且我认为，为整个怀特霍斯服务。为什么呢？许多主要展品都详细介绍了 Kwanlin Dün 的历史，但它们以一种解决殖民主义及其影响的方式进行。重要的是，这种对历史流离失所及其造成的痛苦（文化、心理、代际）的解决并不是以消极的方式进行的。这些展览以“新的生活方式”和“回归河流”为重点，要求我们重新审视自己的文化偏见，同时加强 Kwanlin Dün 文化。事实上，“文化”并不是静态的或博物馆式的。它不断发展，并转变为新的东西；因此，将历史展览与当代展览并置非常重要。这是古典与现代的完美结合。
自从 2014 年我上次访问怀特霍斯以来，我一直很想参观一下这个充满活力的中心。不幸的是，十年前我时间紧迫，没能成行。不过，这次我一定要去看看。该中心是 Rendezvous 音乐节的焦点——我认为十年前并非如此——所以很高兴看到它。在我访问的时候，“长屋”里有一场现场乐队表演，非常热闹。几乎让我回想起十年前 Sheepdog 在 Shipyards Park 的表演！听完一些音乐后，我在中心里闲逛，观察了一些永久性展览。令人惊讶的是，没花多长时间就逛完了中心。我不知道——它很丰富，但我认为它还会有更多内容。也许我被其他地方的土著文化中心宠坏了？
