INDIGENOUS HISTORY MONTH
Read. Watch. Listen.
Let us stop and set aside some time, today and beyond, to re-educate ourselves about past and present histories of Indigenous people.
Here are some recommendations from the Concordia Libraries. Visit and discover a considerable collection of resources on Indigenous-related topics.
Read
- The Summary Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and its 94 calls to action.
- The Residential Schools section of our resource guide: A Day in the Life of Indigenous Students.
- A bibliography of residential school life stories, created as a subset of our Memoirs edition of Indigenous Authors in the Spotlight series.
- Our Colonialism in Canada page and the related resource guide: Decolonization, Indigenization and Reconciliation.
