Each week, we feature a few articles about Indigenous news, issues and initiatives with a local, national and global focus. We feature these as an educational resource, and they should not be construed as an official stance or reflective of the opinions or beliefs of the Institute, CIS staff or faculty.
For the week of August 2-6:
Local
- Should British Columbia change its name? As we reckon with history, some say it’s time from the CBC
