Indigenous Peoples Day

Boozhoo! What a year it has been!

We are now well into June, which is National Indigenous History Month. Did you know that June 21st is also National Indigenous Peoples Day?

Indigenous Peoples Day is a day for all Canadians to honour and celebrate the unique heritages, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

Around the LKDSB

This video celebrates the relationships that are being formed between students and staff in the LKDSB and community members from First Nations within the LKDB area.  

Since the school year was a bit different this year, we decided to share moments from the 2018-2019 school year as well. 

Resources for remote learning

If you are looking for a resource to share with your students to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day, I have created a “Outdoor Virtual Learning Commons” that includes links to videos, stories, artwork, lessons and information on Aamjiwnaang, Eelünaapéewi Lahkiiwéet, Kettle and Stony Point and Bkejwanong. Click on the picture below to go to the virtual classroom. 

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12pR7Irjdi4ae9mXN-SEJY1LrEiuDrMx2WBQVURYcXic/present?userstoinvite=mamariesal80%40gmail.com&ts=5ee0f72d&actionButton=1#slide=id.p

Usually around this time some Indigenous people would be planning events in their communities to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day, but because of Covid-19, these celebrations will not be happening this year. The Summer Solstice Indigenous Peoples Day Festival Virtual Edition is helping to take care of that this year. Throughout the month there are live events happening, as well as some on-demand activities. This would be a great link to share with your students. 

https://summersolsticefestivals.ca/

Miigwech for all that you do to help centre Indigenous voices in your classroom and school community.  This is just a reminder that Indigenous voices and perspectives should be shared all year long to show that there is value in Indigenous knowledge, languages and voices.
