National Indigenous Peoples Day

Today, June 21, we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. This is a day that celebrates and recognizes First Nations, Métis, and Inuit cultures. It is observed on the 21 of June to recognize the summer solstice, the day of maximum daylight, and its importance to Indigenous Peoples.

Canadians have been unable to attend celebrations for the past 2 years, but now that things are happening again, we want to share with you some ways in which you can celebrate Indigenous culture together and in-person across Canada!

You can take part by getting in touch with an Indigenous community or a local Indigenous organization, or by organizing your own activities with your relatives and friends.

You can find an event on this interactive map and learn more about First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.

Celebrate all Indigenous Peoples with us on this day and all year long.
