  1. Contributions of Indigenous Artists to the Parliament Buildings

    HillNote
    On June 21st Canada will celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. Communities across the country will hold events to celebrate the heritage, achievements, and diversity of Indigenous peoples. Given the recent closure of Parliament’s Centre Block for renovations, it is fitting to reflect on the contributions of Indigenous artists to the Parliament buildings.
