The War of 1812 was a dramatic event in Canadian history. But what was at stake, and who won? The exhibition 1812 at the Canadian War Museum reveals that the answer to this question depends on perspective.
The exhibition takes a unique approach, exploring the war through the eyes of the four main participants: Canadians (including Canadian First Peoples), Americans, the British, and Native Americans.
We invited Chief Darcy Bear of the Whitecap Dakota First Nation, to say a few words on the First Nations perspective of the War of 1812.
