June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada – a time to recognize the history, heritage and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. By reflecting on the past, we can learn more about Indigenous peoples and communities' contributions and sacrifices, and we can walk the path towards reconciliation.

Our Board members, Tom Jackson and Andrea True Joy Fox, created a land acknowledgement video on behalf of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA). Watch below: 

The AFA enthusiastically support Indigenous arts as a unique, distinct arts discipline. We collect artworks by Indigenous artists to preserve, exhibit and promote. We encourage all Albertans to learn about the rich culture and artistic expressions of Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.

During National Indigenous History Month you can:

• Discover amazing artwork by Indigenous artists in the AFA's collection.
• Participate in upcoming events throughout the province.

“A road trip is one of my favorite family activities since moving to Edmonton in 2007 from Hong Kong. Because it was so different here than where I came from, I enjoyed exploring different small towns and villages from across the Alberta Prairies, to the majestic Rocky Mountains and British Columbia.”

"Colorful Travel Journey is summarized by the past 13 paintings series inspired by the road trip between BC and Alberta. I am so glad to have the opportunity to display my modern impressionist paintings at the McMullen Gallery Of the University Of Alberta Hospital. One of the rare hospitals that have its own art gallery in Canada. I wish my bright and cheerful color paintings can bring hope and light to hospital staff, patients, and visitors every day. You will discover my paintings when lined up for screening, are located on the gallery wall at the hospital's main entrance."
