Aboriginal Awareness Week in 2012

This marks Aboriginal Awareness Week in Canada. Celebrated annually, this week offers Canadians an opportunity to learn more about the history of Canada as well as Aboriginal culture today.

On May 24, Victoria’s Poet Laureate Janet Rogers will be presenting the results of her research into the Pauline Johnson Collection and NMAI, and sharing her inspirations at the Native Education College in Vancouver.
