June: National Indigenous History Month & National Indigenous Peoples Day

June is National Indigenous History Month and June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada.

This is a time to recognize the rich histories, heritage, cultures, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. We honour the stories, achievements, and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose presence continues today.

This month and day are opportunities to learn about the cultural diversity of Indigenous communities and promotes understanding across all communities.
