June is National Indigenous History Month. This is a time for us to recognize Canada’s First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, as well as their diversity, history, and heritage.
This is also a time to recognize the harm that these peoples have suffered. We mourn the 215 children in Kamloops, as well as all other children who were victims of the residential school system. We commit ourselves to the safety and wellbeing of all the children who are under our protection and are affected by our actions and decisions.
Indigenous Canada
Registration is now open for Indigenous Canada, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the Faculty of Native Studies. This course explores Indigenous histories and contemporary issues in Canada, taught from an Indigenous perspective.
