Indigenous History Month – Start Here

Written By Guest User

In May 2021, the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at the Kamloops Residential School. Thousands more are unaccounted for, and Indigenous peoples continue to feel the intergenerational trauma of the genocide to this day.  

We must acknowledge that this is not a historical issue, but a current one. Quest, as a company comprised of settlers who is dedicated to the empowerment of children and young people, recognizes that we have a responsibility to provide resources and do our part in truth and reconciliation. 

 

First Steps 

  1. Find out whose traditional territory you live on here: https://native-land.ca

  2. Read about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada

  3. Read the 94 Calls to Action

Over the course of June, we will be releasing resources for teachers, parents and children to celebrate Indigenous History Month.
