National Indigenous Peoples Day

On June 21, for National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis across Canada.

Community events 

The Royal BC Museum is hosting the 5th Annual Victoria Indigenous Cultural Festival. There will be three days of spectacular performances of music and dance to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. The festival is held on the traditional territory of the Songhees and Esquimalt nations and each day begins with a welcome from the host nations followed by performances from Indigenous groups from across the province.
