June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, and June 21, the summer solstice, is National Indigenous Peoples Day. This is a time for all Canadians, Indigenous, non-Indigenous, settlers, and newcomers, to reflect upon and learn the history, sacrifices, cultures, contributions, and strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people.
June is Pride Month, a celebration of the history, resilience, and achievements of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. It brings together people from all walks of life to honour inclusivity, diversity, respect, and equality.
The Museums Association of Saskatchewan (MAS) is pleased to announce the launch of the MAS Reading Group! Join us on Zoom, where members, led by MAS staff, are given a biweekly forum to discuss and share commentary and experiences related to the material.
MAS’s work and support reaches lands covered by Treaties 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 & 10 currently known as the Province of Saskatchewan, comprised of the territories of the Nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk , Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Michif/Métis, and Nakota nations. We are committed to focus on repairing the relationships between immigrant Canadians who have settled here over centuries and the First Nations people who have walked these lands since time immemorial. MAS recognizes the roles of museums in perpetuating colonial practices in Canada both directly and indirectly through collection and display practices, policy, and harmful rhetoric. We commit to explore our roles in nurturing meaningful relationships and building understanding. We dedicate our efforts to working together in a spirit of collaboration and reconciliation. We are all treaty people.
