Indigenous History Month Goes Beyond June
Just as it is important to learn about the history of oppression of the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island, it is equally as important to uplift and celebrate Indigenous achievements. To end Indigenous History Month, we are highlighting a few amazing organizations and achievements and we hope you continue to learn and celebrate Indigenous Peoples even past June.
“The purpose of Making Treaty 7 is to produce an event, of both local and international interest, with the potential to act as a transformational agent for people of all ages and backgrounds. Inspired by the founding event of modern Southern Alberta, Making Treaty 7 invites Calgarians, and all Canadians, to consider an enlightened, sustainable future – for all of us.”
