Canada Native Day (21/06)

On June 13, 1996, Governor General of Canada Romo LeBlanc declared June 21 as National Aboriginal Day.

The Royal Proclamation stated that «...indigenous Canadians were and are of value to Canadian society, and the contributions they make should be celebrated and celebrated every year and the different cultures of Canada's indigenous people should be recognized».

Together with national Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21 as Indigenous Day (or Indigenous Day) because for generations, Indigenous people celebrated their culture and heritage days on that day, which is also the longest day of the summer solstice — year.

Today, Canada is proud to recognize the unique achievements of indigenous people in areas such as agriculture, ecology, and art.



On Native Day itself, many cities in Canada hold mass folk festivals with songs and dances, large-scale free concerts, charity treats and gifts, festive fireworks and fireworks dedicated to indigenous people. As a rule, many summer music festivals are also timed to coincide with the holiday.
