National Indigenous Peoples Day is a day to recognize and celebrate the cultures and achievements of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Indigenous peoples of Canada. First proclaimed in 1996, it’s a time to celebrate the unique heritage and diverse cultures of Indigenous peoples in Canada and their contributions to the country’s history and culture.
The day was chosen because it was on or near the summer solstice when the Indigenous Peoples celebrated their culture and heritage for many generations. It is a statutory territorial holiday in the Northwest Territories and Yukon.
