For example, one diorama shows the sharing of food with friendly Indians living close to the fort. The dig showing a burial area has information about the deaths of the people and cause of death - many by Iroquois attack; many native children. Natives and whites were buried in the same burial ground. Information boards show the lifestyle and long houses the Iroquois built. If you go to Halifax, visit Pier 21 Immigration Museum.
