Think About:
Whose land are
you on right now?
Do some research.
Why is this important
to know?
It is our responsibility as residents/citizens to
educate ourselves on the history of Canada as
well as on current issues that continue to affect
First Nations communities.
It is respectful of the First Nations of Canada
and their ancestors
It helps develop positive relationships
between newcomers and Indigenous
Peoples
You might be an Indigenous student!
