Happy National Indigenous History Month! Check out our guide below to find resources and celebrate Indigenous talents by supporting some of Treaty 6’s local businesses. KiSS 91.7 respectfully acknowledges we are located on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional gathering place for a diverse range of Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/ Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others who’ve continued to influence our beautiful community.
