National Indigenous History Month is a time to honour the stories, achievements and resilience of Indigenous People. In June, we celebrate National Indigenous History Month in Canada, and we take this as an opportunity for everyone to learn about the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

The themes for this month change every week to highlight different aspects of Indigenous history, cultures, and perspectives:

•        June 1 to 6: Women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people
•        June 5 to 11: Environment, traditional knowledge and territory
•        June 10 to 18: Children and youth
•        June 19 to 25: Languages, cultures and arts
•        June 26 to 30: Reconciliation

 The House of Commons designated June as National Aboriginal History Month in 2009 and later, in 2017, this name was changed to National Indigenous History Month. Learn more about National Indigenous History Month and how you can participate.
