June is National Indigenous Month in Canada

​June is National Indigenous Month in Canada. As we move towards the end of the month I wanted to share with you some great resources about the Indigenous Peoples of Canada that can help us understand the issues AND make a difference. 
It’s not enough to feel bad about what’s going on, we need to educate ourselves and take action. We need to write letters to the Canadian government and to let the Prime Minister and our MPs know that we are devastated by the unmarked graves found in Kamloops & now Saskatchewan and with the way the Indigenous Peoples of Canada are currently being treated and that we won’t stand for it. 

Indigenous Ally Toolkit
​This is an amazing resource. It explains what an ally actually is, how to educate yourself, things not to say AND what to do.

An overview of the Indian Residential School system 
​This booklet will provide general information on the purpose, establishment, and history of the Indian residential school system in Canada.

ON Canada Project 
Non-Indigenous folk who live in Canada benefit from the colonialism that happened here. That means we are all responsible for our personal role in reconciliation.
