Celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day

June is National Indigenous History Month, and June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day. 

This day is an annual reminder for people across Canada to recognize and celebrate the heritage, cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. 

Throughout June, the Government of Canada released learning resources dedicated to different themes highlighting Indigenous history, which you can find below:

• Women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people
• Environment, traditional knowledge and territory
• Children and youth
• Languages, cultures and arts
• Reconciliation

Today is a special occasion to celebrate and honor the heritage, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. It's an opportunity for all of us to learn, appreciate, and grow together. Let's continue to foster understanding, respect, and reconciliation throughout the year. Together, we can build a brighter and more inclusive future for all Canadians. 

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!
