June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, an opportunity to learn about the unique cultures, traditions, and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. It’s a time to honour the stories, achievements, and resilience of Indigenous peoples, who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose presence continues to impact the evolving Canada.

Each week, the Government of Canada will highlight specific aspects of Indigenous history, cultures, and perspectives. Explore learning resources on each theme:

  • June 1 to 9: Environment, traditional knowledge and territory
  • June 10 to 16: Children and youth
  • June 17 to 23: Languages, cultures and arts
  • June 24 to 30: Women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people

Throughout June, individuals, communities, and organizations will showcase First Nations, Inuit, and Métis historic figures, leaders, and cultures on social media with the hashtag #NIHM2024.
