AUArts is proud to support and champion Indigenous culture, teachings, art, craft and design. Our library, and the materials we include in the collection, aim to enhance the culture and its teachings.
June is National Indigenous History Month across Canada. The AUArts library has a robust collection of materials that let users learn more about Indigenous cultures in our own country, and from around the world. Whether it’s about art, activism, history, literature or politics on Indigenous subjects – we’ve got a book for you!
