During the month of June we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Month and recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21. On these days we celebrate the cultures and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada.
The day was first celebrated in 1996, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Roméo LeBlanc, to be celebrated annually on 21 June. These days are great opportunities to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples, to learn about their histories, cultures and ways of life.
