June is National Indigenous History Month

June is National Indigenous History Month

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:

 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.
