#ChristinaCelebrates: Indigenous Peoples Week

Christina celebrates Indigenous Peoples Week!

Christina School District celebrates Indigenous Peoples Week to honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous communities around the world. This week is important because it raises awareness about Indigenous peoples’ enduring presence, their vital role in preserving the environment, and their invaluable contributions to art, science, governance, and more. Recognizing Indigenous Peoples Week encourages respect, understanding, and support for Indigenous rights and traditions.

For those looking to explore Indigenous voices and narratives further, here are some resources that celebrate Indigenous voices and stories:

  • Books on Sora: Sora is a digital reading platform offering a wide selection of books by and about Indigenous authors and cultures. You can explore titles that highlight Indigenous history, folklore, and contemporary experiences. Visit https://soraapp.com
