The pavilion is part of the First
Nations Garden, a permanent commemoration of the great
peace of Montreal of 1701 and a cultural exhibition of the
first inhabitants of North America. The pavilion covers about
2% of the garden, acting like a porous border between the
Garden's two halves (spruce
and maple). What enables the pavilion to be both unobtrusive
and act like a filter is the decision to place the majority
of the exhibition outside, in heavy-duty displays covered
by the concrete roof. As well, portions are located underground,
even some displays straddling the
ground plane.
