National Indigenous Peoples Month - Resources

This article contains resources for National Indigenous Peoples Month

In June, we recognized both National Indigenous Peoples Day and Indigenous History Month. Throughout the month, we acknowledged the importance of celebrating and recognizing the rich and diverse cultures, voices, experiences and histories of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples.

Even though we have turned the page on the calendar, ASK Wellness Society encourages all members of our staff team to continue to learn about Canadian Indigenous History. We continuously seek to find new ways in which we can better support and work more collaboratively with our Indigenous peers, program participants and communities. Each member of our team is required to participate in Cultural Awareness training, and below we have shared some additional resources. If you are aware of other educational programs or learning tools, please share them with us to add to our list of resources.
