The Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada (French: Atlas des peuples autochthones du Canada) is an English and French[1] educational resource created by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, published by Canadian Geographic, and funded by the Government of Canada.[2] It was created to address calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, among them the development of "culturally appropriate curricula" for Aboriginal Canadian students.[2][3] Its content includes information about indigenous lands, languages, communities, treaties, and cultures, and topics such as the Canadian Indian residential school system, racism, and cultural appropriation.[4]
