Indigenous History Month 2022

In honour of Indigenous History Month, The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund was pleased to present a series of four events in celebration of the diversity of Indigenous Peoples across Canada.

We learned about different Indigenous languages, sacred herbs and medicines from the land, traditional songs, Indigenous inventions, and more! Our episodes featured teachings and performances from the Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick, ending with a special Canada-wide episode that highlighted the beauty of these three regions. 

The themes of this year’s events are honour, commitment, and reflection. All peoples in Canada, from coast to coast to coast, are invited to watch each of the events below.
