National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day

June 17, 2022

June is National Indigenous History Month. What have you learned so far? June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day we celebrate and recognize First Nations, Métis, and Inuit cultures and contributions.

In response to the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Law Society began offering webinars, workshops and training in 2017 and many free recordings are available through our recorded versions shop. Summer might also be a good time to begin the University of Alberta’s Indigenous Canada Course if you haven’t taken it already. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Please don’t hesitate to contact the CPD department or chat with one of our legal research librarians in Legal Resources.
