Indigenous Peoples Day

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. It’s a time to recognize and celebrate the traditions, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year. The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples, marking a time of renewal, connection, and celebration.
