National Indigenous History Month

National Indigenous History Month

In June, Canadians celebrate National Indigenous History Month, an opportunity to honour the heritage, contributions, and cultures of Indigenous peoples in Canada.  On June 21st, Canadians from all walks of life are invited to participate in National Indigenous Peoples Day events that will be taking place from coast to coast to coast.

National Indigenous History Month provides an opportunity to recognize not only the historic contributions of indigenous peoples to the development of Canada, but also the strength of present-day indigenous communities and their promise for the future.

Celebrating National Indigenous History Month in June is an important tribute to the heritage and diversity of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada.
