It's National Indigenous History Month!

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

June is National Indigenous History Month. It's a month-long celebration dedicated to recognizing the extraordinary history, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people across Canada.

For the past two years, we have been on a journey toward Truth and Reconciliation. We've had the privilege of meeting incredible indigenous authors including Nicola I. Campbell, Leona Prince, and David A. Robertson; and we've learned so much about Coast Salish culture through our Pow Wow Dance and Coast Salish Art classes.

Celebrate with us by exploring our free Virtual Classroom, joining our live Coast Salish Art class, or enjoying one of the many on-demand events from our Indigenous Voices series.


Indigenous History Month Resources

Here are some resources you may find helpful this month:

Free Virtual Classroom

Our free Indigenous History virtual classroom is filled with read-aloud books by Indigenous authors, informational videos, and activities for students to explore at home or in the classroom.

Coast Salish Art

This class will include a traditional story, drawing practice of the basic Coast Salish shapes, and a guided drawing of a Douglas Fir tree. Join us live on June 15 or via the recording!

On-Demand Events

All our Indigenous Voices events along with companion Resource Packages are now available for you to enjoy on demand.

If you have any questions or need more information about any of our events and resources, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to help!

Have a great week!
