    Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation Minister Scott Reid is highlighting the importance of promoting and respecting Indigenous cultures. In the House of Assembly yesterday (Tuesday, March 11th), Reid says  through the expression of art, advancements in education and a commitment to Reconciliation, government is strengthening relationships with Indigenous peoples and there is a great way to go. Reid says significant steps are being taken to improve awareness of the history and culture of Indigenous peoples through such things as an online training module for public service employees, and reviewing the K-12 curriculum to ensure it accurately reflects their experiences and stories. He says “Promoting and respecting Indigenous cultures is essential for preserving their rich traditions, and ensuring their voices are heard. By embracing Indigenous art, history, and knowledge, we foster respect, understanding, and a more inclusive world where diverse cultures can thrive together.”
