When the
Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) opens, it will feature many exhibits
about the rights of Indigenous people in North America and around the world.
Many of the Museum’s inaugural exhibitions will focus on Indigenous
Rights in Canada, but as the CMHR grows new voices will be added to the
galleries, such as those of the Indigenous women of the Philippine’s Cordillera
region.
The
Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the first national museum in Canada since
1967.

Hirschsprung's disease is a blockage of the large intestine due to improper muscle movement in the bowel. It is a congenital condition, which means it is present from birth.
