National Indigenous History Month
National Indigenous History Month is a time to celebrate and deepen our understanding of the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Basketball BC joins communities across the country in acknowledging the profound influence and resilience of Indigenous peoples, both past and present.
This month is an opportunity for all of us as athletes, coaches, volunteers, and leaders to learn about Indigenous traditions and stories. It is also a time to reflect on our shared responsibility to support and ensure sport remains a place of belonging, respect, and inclusion.
As we reflect and learn this June, we are reminded that meaningful progress comes through education, listening, and action. We encourage everyone in the basketball community to take time this month to engage with Indigenous history.
Basketball BC acknowledges that our office is located on the traditional and unceded territories of the Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations.
