In response to the current challenges faced by Bangladeshi students, the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union (USSU) extends our heartfelt support during this difficult period.

🧡🌿 National Indigenous Peoples Day 🌿🧡

Today, we celebrate the rich cultures, heritage, and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada. 🇨🇦✨

Why June 21?
Chosen for its cultural significance, the summer solstice marks the longest day of the year and holds great importance in many Indigenous traditions. 🌞

Join the Celebration!
🎶 Enjoy traditional music and dance
🖼️ Explore Indigenous art exhibitions
📚 Attend workshops and educational events
🤝 Participate in community gatherings and powwows

Why It Matters
This day is an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the unique histories, resilient cultures, and ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples. It also plays a vital role in our journey towards reconciliation. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼

Let’s come together to learn, celebrate, and honor the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. 🌍❤️
