We are honoured to work with and walk alongside many Indigenous leaders in our community, including Naamahkamota Darcy Turning Robe, a Siksika Knowledge Keeper and Closer to Home’s Indigenous Program Facilitator, with our Ee-Des-Spoom-Ooh-Soop program. We had the opportunity to sit down with Naamahkamota to discuss the following important dates that take place in June:
- Indigenous History Month and Pride Month
- June 16: Father’s Day
- June 16 to June 22: Aboriginal Awareness Week
- June 21: National Indigenous Peoples Day
We want to thank Naamahkamota for sharing these valuable teachings and the Blackfoot language with us; please take time to listen to him and his teachings on these crucial topics. Naamahkamota provides each teaching in Blackfoot first, then in English.
