Campus and Kingston communities celebrate with events and learning opportunities.
Every year, June 21 marks National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada. It takes place during Indigenous Peoples History Month—a time to acknowledge and celebrate the heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. In recognition, the Queen’s and Kingston communities have hosted and planned several learning opportunities, events, and support initiatives
“Each June, we are fortunate to have an entire month to celebrate the diverse history, culture and accomplishments of Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island,” says Mika Henry, Acting Associate Director in the university’s Office of Indigenous Initiatives (OII). “This month allows space for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to renew our shared commitment to building relationships, learning from each other and to ensure this work and community engagement continues year-round.”
