June 21st has been declared National Indigenous Peoples Day. The Canadian Constitution recognizes three groups, First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples as Aboriginal peoples — also known as Indigenous peoples. Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. To help Canadians understand these three groups a little better, the Government of Canada has created an index of resources about different groups. To explore some history, languages, cultures, and experiences of Indigenous Peoples across Canada, please visit: www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1621447127773/1621447157184 ![]()

June is National Indigenous History Month, a time for all Canadians and people visiting Canada to reflect on the histories that cultured our lives here today. Indigenous histories should be told by indigenous voices, which is only a small part of Truth and Reconciliation. We believe in the incredible work that is being done by Indigenous organizations, Elders, artists, and researchers. One of these projects which has been underway in this area where we are [Sipekne'katik, Mi’kmaki] is the Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Center which stemmed from the findings at Debert Archaeological site. ![]()

What is a Geopark?
A Geopark is a designation that attracts tourists wishing to explore the connections between geology, local communities, culture, and nature. Geoparks are designed to promote tourism and celebrate a region’s uniqueness, and do not prohibit any land use.
