Overview
What you will study
There are many ceremonies apart of Indigenous cultures that occur at throughout the year, seasons, or for specific purposes that relate to certain events, periods of life, and more. Broadly, these ceremonies differ between First Nations, Metis, and Inuit and have been practiced and passed down for many generations.
