Your PEI Human Rights committee would like to share to all PSAC members a great list of resources during National Indigenous History month.
Below you will find many links and resources for readers, those who prefer movies and informational sites. The PEI libraries also have a good selection of many of these books. If they don’t have it, you can request it to be added to the catalogue.
