Today as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, we reflect on the many contributions Indigenous people have made to Canada. As an organization and as individuals, we recognize and respect: - The diversity of Indigenous cultures and worldviews and their roles in Canada’s past, present, and future. - Our collective responsibility to share natural resources revenues and close gaps in socio-economic conditions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. - Our role in the journey towards reconciliation by advancing Indigenous knowledge systems in all our work. - Our privilege to live, work, and play on Indigenous land. 

🌞Celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day Today, we come together to honour and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. Let's take this opportunity to educate ourselves, support Indigenous businesses, and engage in meaningful conversations about truth and reconciliation. #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #SummerSolstice #EconomicReconciliation #TruthandReconciliation #Canada🇨🇦🍁

🍁 Indigenous History Month as an Immigrant 🍁 When I first learned about the Indigenous people in Canada, I knew they welcomed the colonizers but thought the two people had collaborated to build our current Canadian society. Although some of my understanding was correct, I was unaware of the horrific history until recent years. 💔 June is Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize and celebrate the rich history, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples who have lived on these lands for thousands of years. As settlers, we, the immigrants, have the responsibility to understand this part of Canada’s heritage, honour the original peoples' traditions, recognize their resilience, and acknowledge the ongoing challenges they face.🪶 At Little Way, we are committed to promoting cultural sensitivity and inclusivity. By understanding and honouring Indigenous histories and perspectives, we can create a more respectful and cohesive community. Join us in celebrating Indigenous History Month and deepening our appreciation of the diverse cultures that make up Canada 🌿. #Littlewaycounselling #IndigenousHistoryMonth #CulturalsensitivityandInclusion

As July 1st quckly approaches and all of the festivities begin for Canada Day, it's crucial to reflect on what this day represents, especially from the perspective of Indigenous communities. For many Indigenous people, July 1st brings a complex mix of emotions—honoring resilience, acknowledging ongoing challenges, and advocating for reconciliation. Canada Day marks more than just a national holiday; it symbolizes a history of colonization and its impact on Indigenous lands, cultures, and identities. It's a day to recognize the diverse Indigenous nations that have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. This year, let's use Canada Day as an opportunity for meaningful reflection and action. Let's amplify Indigenous voices, support Indigenous-led initiatives, and commit to the ongoing journey of reconciliation. Together, we can build a Canada where Indigenous rights, cultures, and contributions are fully recognized and respected. #CanadaDay #IndigenousPerspectives #Reconciliation #RespectIndigenousRights

🌞 Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the rich culture, heritage, and contributions of Indigenous communities across Canada. For generations, Indigenous groups have celebrated this day, coinciding with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. This significant day, originally proclaimed as National Aboriginal Day in 1996 by then Governor General Roméo LeBlanc, has evolved through the years thanks to the tireless advocacy of Indigenous leaders and communities. From the Assembly of First Nations' call for a National Aboriginal Solidarity Day in 1982 to the renaming as National Indigenous Peoples Day in 2017, this day stands as a testament to the enduring strength and vibrant cultures of Indigenous Peoples. At Project Reconciliation, we are deeply committed to economic reconciliation, fostering meaningful Indigenous ownership and partnership in Canada's energy transition. Our mission aligns with the principles of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent, and we strive to uphold the TRC Calls to Action, ensuring that Indigenous voices are integral to shaping our collective future. 📚 We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to learn more about the histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples.
