Today marks the beginning of Pride month! During the month of June, all DSBN locations will raise the new Pride Progress flag. There have been many variations on the flag. In 2021, the flag was altered in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests, including black to represent diversity, brown to represent inclusivity and light blue and pink, the colors of the trans pride flag. The purple chevron represents the land we are on, the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe communities, and the Two Row Wampum agreement.
