Honouring our past. Celebrating our present. Inspiring our future.

National Indigenous History Month is a time to recognize the histories, cultures, rights, and contributions of all Indigenous Peoples across Canada, 📣while also confronting the truths that continue to shape Indigenous realities today.

The legacy of residential schools, forced displacement, systemic discrimination, and violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people is not confined to the past; its impacts continue to be felt across generations. While Indigenous communities continue to lead with strength, knowledge, and resilience, many still face inequities in housing, healthcare, education, child welfare, justice, and access to opportunities.

Reconciliation requires sustained accountability and action. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls’ 231 Calls for Justice provide an important framework for advancing meaningful change.

📣Progress requires ongoing commitment from governments, institutions, and all Canadians.

This month serves as a time for reflection, learning, and continued action in support of Indigenous rights, self-determination, and equitable outcomes for future generations.⚖️
