National Indigenous History Month is celebrated every June. It is an opportunity for all Canadians to reflect on the distinctive histories, cultures, contributions, and strengths of the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis Peoples of Canada. Only by comprehending our past can we hope to forge a more promising future.Furthermore, June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day, which provides an additional chance to commemorate and celebrate the traditions, customs, and contributions of Canada’s First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. The summer solstice, June 21, was chosen by the Canadian government in collaboration with indigenous organizations as National Aboriginal Day, which is now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. Because the summer solstice is the longest day of the year, many Indigenous groups and peoples have honored their culture and heritage on or around this day for decades.
