About

Every year, we celebrate the diversity, culture, contributions, and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples during National Indigenous History Month. Through special programming including storytelling, interactive activities, artist and theatre performances, and more, visitors can gain a better understanding of the histories of Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island.
