The Surrey First Peoples Guide for Newcomers, funded by IRCC and developed through the Surrey Local Immigration Partnership, is a response to the call for accurate resources on First Peoples in Canada from an Indigenous perspective. This resource provides information on the traditional protocols, histories, and current realities of Indigenous, Metis, and Inuit people in Canada, and addresses common misconceptions about the First People of this land. This guide seeks to uplift and amplify the voices of the land-based Nations that Surrey occupies, and uncovers hard truths, constructs a foundation for shared understanding, and continues the important work of building solidarity between the Indigenous and newcomer communities in Surrey
