 | | | National Indigenous History Month
|
| June is National Indigenous History Month. In 2024, we are more than ever in a time of reconciliation, learning and awareness - knowing that there are always opportunities to improve.
Take advantage of NFB films to introduce your audiences to the realities of different communities in Canada, to discuss them, or to celebrate the talents of your filmmakers if they are from your communities.
