June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to learn about the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada.
This year's theme, "inspiring our youth for change," aligns with Aboriginal Awareness Week Calgary and the City of Calgary. It aims to empower the next generation of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples to reclaim and instill pride, cultural knowledge, and education in our communities. This can be achieved by being positive role models and continuing our collective journey through Truth and Reconciliation.
At Woodlands School, our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and Indigenous Education is year-round. In line with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, Woodlands School and the CBE are committed to promoting and actioning Education for ReconciliACTION. As we observe National Indigenous History Month and celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, we renew our dedication to learning, celebrating, and honouring Indigenous cultures and resilience.
