NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S DAY. Today we honour the rich and diverse traditions, culture, and achievements of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. On this journey toward genuine reconciliation and understanding, we encourage everyone to learn about Indigenous experiences, and find ways to offer allyship and support to Indigenous businesses and communities here in Stó:lō Temexw (Stó:lō territories) and all across Canada.

stolo.community.futures and the Stó:lō Atlas, which helps us create inclusive and educational content.
