June is Aboriginal History Month

June is Aboriginal History Month for Canadians. Our friends at Scholars Portal have gathered a selection of relevant resources from their books and journals platforms. The guide is available on my Aboriginal Studies Research Guide.

June 21 is National Aboriginal Day. For some Ontario happenings, see: http://www.aboriginalaffairs.gov.on.ca/english/events/national_aboriginal_day.asp.
