National Indigenous Peoples Day is a time to hold up and celebrate the culture, resistance and vision of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and Urban Indigenous peoples. It is also a time to lean into the grief and pain of historical and ongoing harm caused by colonization and the racist and assimilationist beliefs and intentions that gave rise to Indian Residential Schools, the Sixties Scoop, Indian Hospitals and countless other harmful programs and policies.
