Dosanjh says removing the murals would be a goodwill gesture. The premier of British Columbia says murals depicting bare-breasted native women should be removed from the halls of the B.C. legislature. Ujjal Dosanjh says he supports the recommendations of an advisory committee to remove the murals. The murals were painted in the 1930s on the walls of the legislature 's rotunda. They depict the construction of Fort Victoria .
Some native leaders feel the women are depicted in subservient and historically inaccurate roles.
I think what matters is that First Nations people believe they're historically inaccurate, and I think it would be a great gesture on the part of all other British Columbians to accede to their request. The advisory committee has recommended that the paintings be removed and preserved. B.C. legislature - official site. Fort Victoria - official site. Ujjal Dosanjh - info from the B.C.
