It's a time to honor the first peoples of this land and to learn more about their diverse histories and ongoing influence. This month provides an opportunity to educate ourselves about tribes, to raise awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and today, and to celebrate the vast contributions of Native Americans to our society.

"Re-examining Canada's history is essential. As Ryan Deneault states, 'Indigenous people are not a part of Canada's history; Canada is a part of Indigenous people's history.' This powerful insight reminds us to honor the true narrative and legacy of Indigenous communities. #Littlesky #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousHistory #CanadianHistory #Healing"

How should we approach truth telling about Australia's history? Sounds like a question for Ask Aunty! Aunty Munya Andrews is an Aboriginal Elder from the Kimberly region on Western Australia. Her life's purpose is to share her cultural knowledge and leave a legacy of Dreamtime wisdom for generations to come. In our cultural awareness workshops participants are encouraged to ask any question without fear of ridicule, shame or blame - and now you can ask those questions too! And remember, there's no such thing as a silly question 🙃 #askaunty #truthtelling #culturalawarenesstraining #practicalreconciliation

🌍 At the recent Emancipation Jubilee in Jamaica, a powerful moment unfolded as descendants of those who profited from the transatlantic slave trade stood in solidarity with the descendants of the enslaved, offering heartfelt apologies. This historic event underscores the deeply intertwined histories of the African Diaspora and the descendants of those who perpetuated slavery. As we reflect on these apologies, we must consider their profound implications for African Diaspora history and historiography. These acts of contrition are not just symbolic; they are a critical acknowledgment of the ongoing legacies of slavery that continue to shape the lives of Black communities in the Americas today. In a world still grappling with the heritage of the transatlantic slave trade and chattel slavery, these apologies remind us that the history of slavery is not just a distant past but a present reality that demands action and recognition. As we push forward, we must continue to challenge the structures of inequality that persist, using history not just to remember but to drive change.🌍 🔗 [Read more in The Guardian](https://lnkd.in/d9nwsEAW) #EmancipationDay #AfricanDiaspora #HistoryMatters #TransatlanticSlaveTrade #ChangeTheNarrative
