On April 10^th we celebrate annual Indigenous Nurses Day in honour of Charlotte Edith Anderson Monture, a Kanien’kehà:ka woman who was Canada’s first Indigenous nurse.

We honour the health care contributions and achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis nurses, educators, and students in Canada. Thank you for your commitment, courage, teachings, and invaluable role in improving the health care of Canadians.
