Non applicable: preservation and healing in regards to the Asinabka Land through multicultural revealing of hidden layers

The purpose of this thesis is to reveal the hidden and omitted layers of history of the Asinabka site that have been overlooked by the dominant Western culture; this singular Western viewpoint provides one dimension of realization, and one perspective to the issues surrounding the Chaudière falls and the neighboring islands. By revealing multicultural stories, a deep and enriched history of the Asinabka site emerges; by understanding the full history we can begin a discussion about the future of the Asinabka site in a way that provide an understanding of its history, meaning, and substance. The future design and healing of the land will not only address the buildings on the site, but also acknowledge the past and future implications of decisions made on the land.
