National Indigenous People’s Day being recognized across the northeast
Communities in the northeast are celebrating National Indigenous People’s Day in a big way.
On June 21st, Canadians far and wide are set to recognize the rich history of Indigenous people and honour the trials and tribulations they have faced in the process.
Melfort and District Museum curator Gailmarie Anderson told northeastNOW they’re starting the celebration by sharing Indigenous stories.
“We’re doing a story walk at the memorial garden and with an indigenous book,” she said. “The reconciliation group has a table, and they will be giving out information they’ve developed some beautiful bookmarks to give out to honour the day.”
