National Indigenous Heritage Month

National Indigenous History Month

June is National Indigenous History Month across Canada, including the celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21. 

Throughout the month, Hockey Canada is honouring the history, heritage and diversity of Indigenous peoples from coast to coast to coast, and their contributions at every level of the game.

We recognize the strength of Indigenous communities and acknowledge there is much work to be done.

We strive to listen, learn and engage as a first step to build the respectful relationships necessary to move toward healing and reconciliation.
