Biindigen’s 30 Day Indigenous History Month Challenge is back!

June 2023 Theme – Food Sovereignty  

The Biindigen 30 Day indigenous History Month Challenge was created in 2021 to engage Western University and Affiliates staff, faculty and students in learning about, and celebrating, Indigenous Peoples, perspectives, realities, histories and cultures. Each day of the month of June features a resource, event or suggested activity to celebrate Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and aid in everyone's learning and unlearning journey. 

This time around we wanted to focus on Indigenous food systems, knowledges and sovereignty. Each week will contain at least one resource or activity in relation to this topic.  

Share what you’re learning and engaging with, on social media using the hashtag #Biindigen30DayChallenge2023 or tag us on Twitter (@westernuOII), Facebook (Wampum Learning Lodge) and Instagram (@westernUILS).

Biindigen, Western's Indigenous Learning Circle is a program collaboration between Western Libraries, Western Research, Student Experience and the Offices of Indigenous Initiatives and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to informally engage Western's campus in learning and unlearning about Indigenous Peoples through Indigenous stories and media.
