Indigenous groups and communities have long celebrated their culture and heritage on June 21 or around this time of year, because of the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year. We recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada. This past year, the #WesternMustangs partnered with Western Indigenous Initiatives and King's University College to make beaded key chains as a special gift for participants in the #USPORTS Cross Country National Championships, hosted at home in London. The artistry and practice of beadwork serves as a vehicle for expression, identity, and creativity. #Mustangs were given lessons associated with this Indigenous craft – on how to create these beaded key chains – as well as important Indigenous lessons on patience and commitment.
