June is National Indigenous History Month

In June, we recognize the significant contributions of Indigenous peoples as we commemorate National Indigenous History Month. During this month, take time to recognize the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples across Canada.

The Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, alongside APTN, will be planting the 8th annual downtown Indigenous Garden on June 22. You are invited to attend the planting event and ceremony from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Air Canada Park. There is no registration necessary for this event.

APTN’s Indigenous Day Live is back on June 18. This year will be reinvented into a cultural and artistic showcase. Indigenous and non-Indigenous people are invited to celebrate in-person at The Forks or from home on APTN, radio & YouTube. You can also catch an encore broadcast on June 21, which is celebrated nationally as Indigenous Peoples Day.

Visit the Government of Canada website for resources on Indigenous history, inspiring Indigenous trailblazers and reconciliation, as well as downloadable graphics for social media.
