The APA would like to recognize National Truth and Reconciliation Day by promoting various events put on in honour around Ontario.
We encourage everyone to look up First Nations of their local community for their events in honour of the day, as we cannot list them all! 🙂

Update on the Clovis people! The hunter-gatherers who inhabited North America starting more than 13,000 years ago were thought to have hunted megafauna such as mammoths, mastodons, and gomphotheres—perhaps to extinction. But new research, including a study of the “Anzick child” burial, is prompting archaeologists to rethink Clovis hunting and dining habits.
