June 21 - National Indigenous Peoples Day

‍

Every June is National Indigenous History Month, and June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day.

Anchored in Waacus Salee Frog Spirit Initiative at Frog Hollow, we celebrate NIHM and NIPD, honouring the important role of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples & their diverse cultures in shaping the history on this land.

Moving forward and beyond, we continue creating opportunities and space within the community for the learning of Indigenous cultures & histories, encouraging dialogues on decolonization and re-indigenization.
