June is Indigenous History Month, a time to reflect, learn, and deepen our understanding of the diverse histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. To support this journey, Brock Libraries has curated a thoughtful resource list featuring powerful stories, scholarly works, and essential reads that highlight Indigenous voices and experiences. Whether you're just beginning or continuing your learning, these resources offer a meaningful starting point. The list is linked directly to our catalogue. Click on any title and place a hold! This initiative also helps prepare our community for the Witness Blanket exhibit, coming to Cannington this fall. The exhibit is a moving national monument that weaves together items from residential schools, churches, and cultural sites to tell the truth about a difficult past and foster dialogue and healing. 🧡 Start exploring our resources here: The Witness Blanket WebsiteDownload Let’s read, learn, and honour together. #IndigenousHistoryMonth #BrockLibraries #TruthAndReconciliation #WitnessBlanket…
