June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day and was declared a national holiday in 1996. The date was chosen to coincide with the summer solstice and the beginning of a season of berry-picking, fishing, pow-wows, and gatherings for Indigenous People in Canada. As Indigenous People, our celebration of all things Indigenous is never-ending. This June, and every month, we honour Indigenous children, their families, and their communities.
Celebrate with us on June 20th at McArthur Park in Lac La Biche. Details here.
