In Echoes of the Past Spirit Bear travels to Songhees and Esquimalt territories and witnesses a statue of John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first Prime Minister, being removed from the steps of Victoria City Hall. Some people want to save the statue, and others are glad to see it going, prompting Spirit Bear to ask: What does it mean to reconcile history?  

Through creating a special plaque to teach people about Peter Henderson Bryce, a courageous doctor who spoke out about the terrible health conditions and children getting sick in residential schools, Spirit Bear realizes the importance of learning history to make better decisions now and for future generations of children and cubs.
