Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day—a time to recognize and celebrate the traditions, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

We encourage you to take some time to learn more about First Nations, Inuit and Métis as well as our collective past. The best way to do this is through their own voices. We’ve selected books by Indigenous authors from our book collection on Indigenous health.

Stop by in person at Room 354 (3rd floor) at the Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) to borrow our physical books.
