The month of June is National Indigenous History Month. A time to recognize the rich history, heritage and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.
The best way to gain a deeper understanding of First Nations, Inuit and Métis experiences is through their own voices:
• attend events and community gatherings
• watch films or performances
• listen to music by Indigenous artists
• follow First Nations, Inuit and Métis creators on social media
Understanding the history of colonization helps explain many of today's realities.
National Indigenous History Month is not only a time to reflect on the past, but also an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the Indigenous communities and cultures across Canada.
So what are you doing this month to recognize and deepen your knowledge of Indigenous History?
