National Indigenous Peoples Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on June 21st of every year. It began in 1996 and was originally called National Aboriginal Day. The day commemorates and honours First Nations, Inuit, and M\u00e9tis People\u2019s cultures, histories, and contributions to Canada.\u00a0 June 21st was chosen because it is the longest day of the year and has long been celebrated by Indigenous Peoples.<\/p>\n

This day is an opportunity to recognize the historic contributions of Indigenous Peoples to the development of Canada. There are many ways to celebrate the day but as June is also National Indigenous History Month there is an opportunity to learn about Indigenous history and to deepen our understanding of Indigenous people and their role in the present-day and future of Canada all month long.<\/p>\n

I wanted to introduce you to two local indigenous musicians today:<\/p>\n

Band- The Jerry Cans Song- Northern Lights<\/p>\n

The Jerry Cans create music inspired by their hometown of Iqaluit, Nunavut. With
\ntheir unique mix of indie rock and throat singing, The Jerry Cans are a distinctly
\nnorthern, one-of-a-kind group. The band perform many of their songs in Inuktitut
\nand are passionate about preserving the language even as the north and their
\nhome community of Iqaluit evolve. They are committed to representing
\nnortherners and to challenging common misperceptions they have encountered
\nabout life in the Arctic; their music evokes the contemporary north and the
\nspirited people that reside there.<\/p>\n

Singer-Buffy Sainte-Marie Song- You Got to Run (Spirit of the Wind)<\/p>\n

Buffy Sainte-Maire was born as Beverly Sainte-Marie on Feb. 20, 1941, on the
\nPiapot Cree Indigenous reserve in the Qu’Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan.
\nSainte-Marie\u2019s fearless social commentary and advocating for Indigenous issues,
\nboth in her songs and in her life, have earned her many devoted fans and the
\nrespect of her musical peers.<\/p>\n
