National Aboriginal Month June 2011-2012 Canada

National Aboriginal Awareness Month June 2011-2012 Canada

Please support National Aboriginal Awareness Month in Canada June 2011-2012 by signing our petition.

Red Power United (Native Rights Movement) is Petitioning to make a National Aboriginal  Awareness month in Canada.

We are not in opposition of Native Awareness Week / Aboriginal week or National Aboriginal Day. These events aim to dispel aboriginal stereotypes by bringing awareness to break down barriers through sharing traditions and culture of Aboriginal people.

We feel Native Awareness Week / Aboriginal week or National Aboriginal Day should be combined and extended to one month period under the name National Aboriginal Awareness  Month. Aboriginal peoples in Canada comprise the First Nations, Inuit and Metis people.

National Aboriginal Awareness month should be a unified event across Canada in the month of June and should also be a proactive movement to provide education and awareness across Canada of past and current Aboriginal historic events and cultural traditions. 

National Aboriginal Awareness month should include and or expand on traditional community events of:

 Aboriginal art exhibits and Cultural display

Social dances *round dances, pow wows

Ceremonies * Sunrise Ceremony ect.

Traditional Story telling

Elder teachings

Traditional and Cultural teachings

Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, Feasts

Performances

Drumming, singing, dancing

Theatre and talent showcases

Talking circles

Films

Information kiosks

Aboriginal people and the environment

Including any regular local events

Canadian Aboriginal History and Historic events:

First Nations Histories

Inuit Histories

Metis Histories

Because the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada is a Historic event National Aboriginal Month should also create an equal partnership towards Truth and Reconciliation with mutual responsibility between Aboriginal people, Churches, Government and Canadian citizens by working towards an overall holistic and comprehensive healing approach to the affects of the Indian residential school legacy.

Aboriginal people, Churches, Government officials and Canadian citizens should have the opportunity participate and share in:

Ceremonies

Talking/Healing circles

Workshops

Creative Writing and Artistic Expression

Speaker bureaus

Individual community ideas

There should also be recognition and honouring of Aboriginal people in Community, Church and Government who in the past or present have dedicated themselves towards creating a better way of life for Aboriginal people.

Mentors

Teachers

Elders

Peers

Community workers

Agencies and organizations

Please support National Aboriginal Awareness month in Canada. June 2011-2012
