National Indigenous Peoples Day

Next Monday, June 21st marks the 25th anniversary of celebrating the heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples across Canada. Consider how you can approach this day with your students particularly given the recent discovery in Kamloops. The DLRC has great resources that you can borrow.

Also, check out this list created by David A. Robertson specifically on texts written about residential schools by Indigenous writers: 48 Books by Indigenous Writers To Talk about Residential Schools
