National Aboriginal Day, also known as National Indigenous Peoples Day, is celebrated on June 21 every year. This day is a Canadian federal holiday to recognize the efforts and contributions of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada. The Aboriginal people include the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis of Canada. While the holiday is officially named National Aboriginal Day, most people refer to it as National Indigenous Peoples Day, a term more accurate because it includes all the indigenous people of Canada. National Aboriginal Day celebrates the heritage and cultures of all indigenous people in the country. It is a focus on diversity and a day worth celebrating.
