Indigesteam

🌞🪶 Honouring First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples today and every day.

Our languages, sciences, stories, and teachings continue to grow through our youth — the innovators, protectors, and knowledge keepers rising in both culture and STEM.

🪶 To our young people: you belong in every space you choose to shine.

IndigeSTEAM will be attending, come explore robotics with us!

Today we celebrate Joe Wolfleg, a youth that leads with inquiries, a young man who is making a difference for the next 7, a proud Indigenous warrior that shares his story and teachings, Happy 19th Birthday! May this year be full of amazing memories!

🧥💙 Blue Jean Jacket Day 🧥💙Honouring Indigenous Men & Boys 🧥💙

Today we honour Blue Jean Jacket Day, a grassroots movement calling attention to missing, murdered, and exploited Indigenous men and boys.

Too often, their stories are overlooked. Too often, their families carry their grief without the visibility and support they deserve. Today, we wear or hang our denim jackets to say: we see you, we remember you, and we will not stay silent.

Started in Edmonton in 2023 by advocates Stephanie Harpe and April Eve, this day stands as a powerful counterpart to Red Dress Day — reminding us that safety, justice, and healing must include all our relatives.

Indigenous men and boys continue to face violence, exploitation, trafficking, and systemic barriers. Honouring them means committing to change, uplifting families, and creating communities rooted in care, accountability, and respect.

🪶 We remember those taken.
We stand with those still searching.
We walk with those healing.

Indigesteam’s mission is to provide Indigenous-led, culturally-relevant STEM/STEAM educational programming for Indigenous youth, adults, their communities, and the greater community and allies in Calgary, Alberta and beyond.

On June 2, 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released the 94 Calls to Action — eleven years ago today. They’re a reminder that we all have a role in addressing the harms of residential schools and pushing real reconciliation forward.

We also honour the late Honourable Murray Sinclair, C.C., O.M., M.S.C., K.C. — the first Indigenous judge on the Court of King’s Bench and the TRC’s Chief Commissioner. His leadership shaped this work, and his legacy stays with us.

A good reminder today: truth was never the hard part — reconciliation is.

🌈🪶 June Holds Us All

June brings together Indigenous Peoples Month and Pride Month, two celebrations rooted in identity, courage, and community. Both remind us that we are strongest when we honour who we are, where we come from, and how we walk with one another.

In our cultures, everything is connected, the land, our stories, our teachings, our relationships, our genders, our spirits. When we practice acceptance, we make room for every part of that circle. When we practice interconnectedness, we remember that our actions ripple out to others. And when we lead with kindness, we create the kind of world our ancestors hoped for and our youth deserve.

🪶🌈
To all our Indigenous, Two‑Spirit, and LGBTQIA+ relatives:
You belong. You are loved. You carry teachings that make our communities stronger.

Let’s walk this month, and every month, with gentleness, courage, and care for one another.

June is Indigenous History Month and Pride Month ❤️‍🔥LoveIsMedicine
