National Indigenous History Month is a valuable time to remember and recognize the rich history and culture of Indigenous peoples living in Canada. From ancient artifacts to thriving communities, this month gives us a unique opportunity to learn about Canada's diverse first peoples - past and present.
In honour of National Indigenous History Month, let us explore some of the most interesting sites across the country which help tell their stories. From archaeological ruins in British Columbia to traditional villages in Newfoundland and Labrador, each destination offers something special for visitors looking for an authentic experience of First Nations culture.
Throughout June we will travel from coast-to-coast, learning more about why it is important that we continue to celebrate National Indigenous History Month every year – both now and into the future!
Introducing National Indigenous History Month
National Indigenous History Month is a time to honour and celebrate the contributions, culture, and resilience of Indigenous peoples in Canada. This month-long celebration provides a platform for Indigenous stories, traditions, and history to be shared and acknowledged.
Through events, workshops, and educational resources, Canadians are given the opportunity to learn and engage with Indigenous history and its impact on our country. It is essential to recognise and honour the unique history and experiences of Indigenous peoples, and National Indigenous History Month presents an opportunity to do so.
This month serves as a reminder of the ongoing journey towards reconciliation and the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the diverse cultures and contributions of Indigenous communities.
