June is National Indigenous History Month. A month to remember the injustices committed against Indigenous people in Canada’s past, issues that still affect Indigenous people to this day. It is also a month to celebrate and support all of the wonderful Indigenous musicians that have shaped Canada’s music and its culture. Indigenous people have been and continue to be oppressed in this country and it is important to remember this during June and throughout the year.
Each week in June, Bandology will be highlighting an Indigenous musician. Please research and support these artists, along with all of the other great Indigenous artists that share their stories with the world. Bandology is committed to truth and reconciliation in June and every month of the year and we encourage everyone to do the same.
