What might Adirondack chairs in Canada’s national parks suggest about social studies and wellness? Using hauntology as a lens through which to analyze the traces of history that linger from the so-called “Indian Hospital” system in Canada and the red Adirondack chairs that pepper the landscape in Canada’s national parks as a site of a haunting, this chapter will explore how the red chairs might become portals to study the legacies of settler colonialism in the forms of land theft, segregation, and assimilation haunt the ways that Canadians view national parks’ contributions to health and wellness.
