June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada. National Indigenous History Month serves as a time to learn and reflect on Indigenous cultures, histories, resilience, achievements, and stories. It is essential to recognize the vast diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada, both within and across nations.
National Indigenous History Month not only serves as a time to learn about Indigenous cultures and histories, but also to learn together with and in reconciliation. Policies supporting assimilation and segregation of Indigenous peoples have sought to erase Indigenous cultures, teachings, and relationships to the land. Taking time to learn and reflect on Indigenous resilience, practices, and histories is a step towards reconciliation and toward responding to the TRC Calls to Action.
Please see the links below to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls’ Calls for Justice for ways to think, learn, grow, and do during this month.
