Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, and is a day to honour and celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across the country. As an organization with operations across Canada, the US and Brazil, we recognize that we live and operate on the unceded, traditional territories of many Indigenous peoples, and we are committed to learning more about reconciliation, respect and partnership as we move forward. 🧡 #IndigenousPeoplesDay

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

🍁 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

Today, we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, honoring the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit, who contribute significantly to the cultural and social fabric of the country widely known as Canada, located on what some First Nations call Turtle Island.🐢🍁 These Indigenous communities have a long and rich history of resilience, vibrant cultures, and profound wisdom. Despite multiple challenges, they have maintained their unique cultural practices, languages, and traditions for centuries. Their traditional knowledge systems, tested and refined over time, inspire wisdom on sustainable living and community well-being – crucial insights in today's ever-evolving world. 🌍 As we honor their legacy, we must move beyond recognition and take meaningful actions. ✊🏽 Support First Nations and Indigenous communities worldwide and actively foster reconciliation and justice by advocating for their rights and sovereignty. Together, we can build a future that honors and conserves the biocultural diversity they have nurtured for generations. #IndigenousHistoryMonth #FirstNations #Metis #Inuit #NationaIndigenousPeoplesDay #BioculturalDiversity

Did you know: Indigenous territories encompass 28% of the surface of the globe and contain 11% of the world’s forests. Canada was built on the ancestral land of Indigenous peoples. First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples have shaped our history and identity as a country. Today we recognize International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples and celebrate the vibrant and diverse cultures, languages, and traditions of Indigenous peoples in Canada and around the world. #IDWIP

We acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional territories of several Indigenous nations. This land is the home of the Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Wendake-Nionwentsïo, Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee), Mississauga, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize that these lands are covered under Treaty 13A, the Head of the Lake Purchase (1805). We honor the rich cultural heritage and the languages spoken on this land, including Mississauga/Eastern Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) and Anishinaabemowin. This acknowledgment is a reminder of the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous communities to the past, present, and future of these lands. We are committed to fostering relationships that respect and uplift Indigenous rights and heritage. If there are any inaccuracies, please reach out to help us ensure our respect is accurately reflected. 🌿 Today, as we observe Truth and Reconciliation Day, we at Stratejm, a Bell Canada company, take a moment to reflect on our commitment to acknowledging and honouring the rich history, culture, and rights of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Building Bridges: A Canada Day Commitment to Reconciliation Canada Day, we celebrate the founding of our nation, it's essential to acknowledge the diverse experiences and histories that have shaped this land. For many, this day is a time of pride and joy, reflecting on the achievements and progress of Canada. However, it's also crucial to recognize that Canada Day can hold different meanings for Indigenous communities. For Indigenous peoples, Canada Day often serves as a reminder of colonization, the loss of land, culture, and the painful history of residential schools. These historical injustices have left deep scars and continue to impact Indigenous communities today. As we celebrate, we must also reflect on these truths and honor the resilience and strength of Indigenous peoples who have endured and continue to thrive despite these challenges. Reconciliation is a shared journey. This Canada Day, let's commit to learning about Indigenous histories and cultures, listening to Indigenous voices, and supporting initiatives that promote healing and justice. By doing so, we can work towards a future where all Canadians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, can celebrate together with mutual respect and understanding. May this Canada Day be a step towards unity, healing, and a more inclusive nation for all.
