Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day! Celebrating the rich cultures, languages, and enduring contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples today and every day.

"The land is the real teacher. All we need as students is mindfulness."
— Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate the histories, cultures, languages, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

This week, our schools and communities came together at the Humboldt Partnership Powwow to learn, celebrate, and honour Indigenous cultures and traditions. We are grateful for the teachings, relationships, and opportunities to continue learning together.
