📚🧡 National Indigenous History Month Book Spotlight 🧡📚

One of the best ways to learn about Indigenous histories, cultures, and perspectives is through stories.

Here in Northwest BC, we are fortunate to have connections to talented Indigenous authors whose work shares important stories, teachings, and experiences. Consider exploring books by local Haisla authors, such as Eden Robinson, whose novels bring together contemporary life, family, culture, and Indigenous storytelling, or Wa'xaid (Cecil Pau)l, whose book, "Stories from the Magic Canoe of Wa'xaid", offers powerful teachings and personal stories that highlight the strength of Haisla culture, the importance of traditional knowledge, and the challenges Indigenous communities have faced through colonization and environmental change.

Do you have a favourite Indigenous author or book to recommend? We'd love to hear your suggestions in the comments.

🧡 June is National Indigenous History Month 🧡

National Indigenous History Month is an opportunity to listen to Indigenous voices, explore Indigenous stories, and deepen our understanding of the experiences, resilience, and strengths of Indigenous communities across Canada.

At its heart, literacy is about stories—listening to them, sharing them, and learning from them. This month, we invite our community to take time to read a book by an Indigenous author, attend a local event, visit the library, or simply learn something new. Every story shared helps build understanding, respect, and connection.

📚☀️ Just a reminder that our Intergenerational Week StoryWalk, "The Keeper of Wild Words", will be up until Saturday, June 6 in the Lions Park area between Tamitik and the Post Office.

It's also a great time to clear a few books off your shelves and share them with others! You can leave books (or take a few) at the Little Book Shelter located between the Post Office and Nana's Small Town Café. Or, if you're downtown between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., be sure to check out the free book carts in the breezeway of the Royal Bank building.

It's a beautiful day to pick up a coffee, a treat, or a sandwich, enjoy a stroll, read a story along the way and pick up your next great read from a book cart, the little book shelter or from our friends at the Kitimat Public Library Association. 📖☕🌿

Happy reading, Kitimat!

Aro is happy to share that it’s Intergenerational Week, and Literacy Kitimat has set up a special StoryWalk in the Lions Park area, between Tamitik and the Post Office from May 31 to June 6.

📖 The Keeper of Wild Words is a beautiful story about a young girl and her grandmother discovering and celebrating the words that connect us to nature.

🚶 Start and finish at the corner near Nana's Little Town Play Café and enjoy reading the story as you walk.

Bring a child, a grandparent, a friend—or simply enjoy it yourself!

Happy reading! ❤️📚
