Today we honour and celebrate the cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Mรฉtis peoples across Canada. ๐
St. John's is home to a rich, diverse, and vibrant urban Indigenous community. Located on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Beothuk, the lands and waters in and around the City have traditionally served as a gathering place for the Miโkmaq. The broader region of Newfoundland and Labrador continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples, including First Nations, Inuit, and Mรฉtis. We honour and pay respect to the past, present, and future caretakers of these territories.
