June marks National Indigenous History Month, a dedicated time to honour and celebrate the histories, living cultures, stories, and resilience of the many Indigenous peoples and Nations within the lands colonially known as Canada. It is important to engage in this practice, and the process of learning and unlearning, throughout the year; however, there are a number of events being held across the region in June we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight.
June 21st has also been designated as National Indigenous Peoples Day. Below you will find events taking place throughout the month, with many taking place specifically on the 21st. Events will be updated periodically throughout the month:
