National Indigenous Persons Day
June 21, 2022, Nationwide
Join us and the rest of the country in recognizing and celebrating the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of Indigenous people, which include First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. 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.
