National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples' Day
Every June, we celebrate National Indigenous History Month, which is an opportunity to honour the unique heritage, outstanding contributions, and diverse cultures of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis communities across Turtle Island. On June 21, we honour National Indigenous Peoples' Day.
