Here in Kanata (Canada), we invite you to pause and acknowledge National Indigenous People’s Day. You may also know this day by its former name, National Aboriginal Day. Every June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada. It is an important way for Canadians to show respect and practice truth and reconciliation with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples.
We pause, with deep gratitude, care, and respect, to acknowledge the people who have cared for and stewarded the land upon which we live, and we invite you to take a moment to reflect and do the same.
From today and beyond, make time to learn about the Indigenous people in your town or city. Many of the towns and cities in Canada are around 100 years old, yet the land upon which we live has been inhabited for centuries and even millennia by Indigenous nations.
Technology brings us a wealth of learning through online courses, training, podcasts, and social media. Indigenous nations have a rich history, culture, and art. Seek some of the beautiful galleries, artists, music, films, books, and food in your area. Learn about the history of your home, support an Indigenous business, and lead from the heart with curiosity and kindness.
