National Indigenous Peoples Day

National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21) is a day that unites us in reflecting and recognizing the important contributions Indigenous peoples have made throughout history and throughout communities from across Canada. It is also an opportunity to listen and to learn from Indigenous Peoples, to hear their oral histories and traditions, and to reconsider the active role we all need to play to move forward.
