National Indigenous History Month in June is a time to honour the rich histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples across Turtle Island. ​

Here on Treaty 8 territory, in the  RMWB, we recognize the strength, resilience, and knowledge of the Indigenous communities who have called this land home since time immemorial. This month, and every month, we commit to listening, learning, and lifting Indigenous voices. Whether through ceremony, storytelling, land-based practices, or community connection, let us reflect on the truths of our shared history and take action toward reconciliation. Nothing about us, without us. ​

Na Naskomonân – we are grateful.​
