On Wednesday, June 21, the Toronto District School Board and SOLE Alternative celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. Many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples celebrate the Summer Solstice on this day, which is the longest day of the year and shortest night.
Beyond National Indigenous Peoples Day, learning about and learning from the richness and diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspectives, histories and cultures throughout the year betters all of us. This week and throughout the year, here are some resources to help you further your understanding of Indigenous histories, resurgences, and perspectives:
