June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

National Indigenous Peoples Day is recognized annually on June 21 to celebrate and honour the achievements, rich cultures and unique heritage of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. For generations, many Indigenous Peoples have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year.
