National Indigenous Peoples Day – June 21, 2022
On June 21, 2022, Canadians will celebrate the 26th annual National Indigenous Peoples Day, honouring the heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.
