Indigenous Learning Resources

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, and we know that across North America, and around the world, Indigenous knowledge and perspectives are foundational to outdoor learning, and so this learning needs to be ongoing.

Here are some recommended Indigenous Learning Resources to support the ongoing learning for both yourself, and your learners. These are all made available on the recommendation of Indigenous advisors and partners, and are all written, created and developed by Indigenous authors, artists and creators.
