As
I
walked
between
the
displays,
yearning
to
know
more
about
the
aboriginal
inhabitants
of
Fuerteventura
and
more
broadly,
the
Canary
Islands
themselves,
I
was
overwhelmed
by
a
sense
of
being
told
a
curated
version
of
a
story
buried
by
words
like
"mysterious"
and
"conflicting
theories".
I
learned
very
little
about
the
Mahoans
at
this
museum.
It
wasn't
until
I
left
and
I
gave
into
this
feeling
and
searched
the
internet,
only
to
find
a
record
of
colonial
genocide
of
the
Mahoans
being
performed
by
the
Spanish
which
is
why
there
is
so
little
to
tell
today
in
a
modern
museum
space.
It's
my
only
hope
that
this
tragic
misstep
in
history
be
more
openly
and
holistically
shared,
to
encourage
others
learn
from
and
to
own
their
mistakes,
show
their
remorse
and
not
try
to
bury
the
truth
with
time
and
public
money.
