National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year.

The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples in Canada. 

Celebrations and events are held across Canada on June 21, 2025. 

You have the opportunity to learn about the diverse cultures, traditions, languages and histories of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. 

Many communities host events like powwows, festivals, educational activities, and gatherings with music, dancing, and traditional foods. 

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!
