The Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada, produced by The Royal Canadian Geographical Society in partnership with the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the Métis Nation, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and Indspire, the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada shares the stories, perspectives, voices and history of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. It includes historic and contemporary maps and explores themes of language, demographics, economy and culture. Important topics such as treaties and residential schools are covered in-depth, as well as the contributions of Indigenous Peoples, their oral traditions and land-based knowledge.

A territorial or land acknowledgment is a centuries-old tradition among Indigenous Peoples, and is also today an important part of Canada's reconciliation process — it is becoming common for non-Indigenous people to make such acknowledgments at public events and in schools.
