Indigenous Collection

As part of Vancouver Public Library’s work to advance the goals of the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, all VPL branches feature Indigenous collections.  These collections were developed in consultation with community organizations in Vancouver.

The Indigenous Collection contains content for all ages, and is for all those who want to gain a better appreciation of First Nations history and culture and want to learn and understand more about Indigenous Peoples. The Indigenous Collection highlights, acknowledges, and honours the unique cultures and experiences of Indigenous communities, including individuals living in an urban setting, and includes titles that reflect the impact of residential schools and the theme of reconciliation.
