There are other places including Cornwallis Park, Street and River for those who wish to question who he was . There are just some things in the sad history of this land are best left to rest. If more people were to read Daniel N. Paul's book, We Were Not The Savages perhaps this would not be an issue. As a proud Mohawk man I say tear it down.

It certainly does not help our ability to talk about the tragedy of the Acadian deportation. With the Morris building there is a possibility to use the structure to tell the story of the deportation from a different angle. Sites like Grand Pre do a wonderful job of memorializing the victims of the Deportation. A site like the Morris House offers the opportunity to discuss the events which led up to the tragedy. This is a site where the all important context of why the Acadians were deported can be discussed. While burning the house would be a very showy event it would do more damage to the cause that it is supposed to serve.
