OTTAWA – Liberal Aboriginal Affairs Critic, Carolyn Bennett, today issued the following statement on National Aboriginal History Month:

“This June marks a month-long period of celebrating and learning about Aboriginal culture and history. Aboriginal History Month is an opportunity to acknowledge the fundamental and enduring contributions of Aboriginal peoples to the building of our country.
