Indigenous History Month 2026
June is Indigenous History Month, and June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. It is an opportunity to celebrate and learn more about the diverse cultures, traditions, governing systems, histories, spiritualities, and gifts of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.
The best way to learn is directly from Indigenous people:
- read Indigenous authors,
- listen to Indigenous musicians and podcasters,
- view art and film made by Indigenous artists,
- seek opportunities to learn from Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers and teachers
- attend events organized by Indigenous nations, organizations or Friendship Centers in your area.
Centering Indigenous voices and experiences, honouring Indigenous identity and resilience contributes to building up a society that actively addresses anti-Indigenous racism, and where all people may flourish.
