The Diefenbunker was built on the traditional unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People, whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial. The Diefenbunker museum acknowledges the adverse impacts of the Cold War and its ongoing legacy of harm to Indigenous peoples in Canada. The museum is continually working to develop collaborative relationships with Indigenous communities and to ensure respectful interpretation of Indigenous content in our spaces.
