National Aboriginal Day - Message from the Honourable Chuck Strahl

As Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians, I invite all Canadians to join in this year's National Aboriginal Day celebrations.

National Aboriginal Day, June 21st, is now firmly planted within the cultural landscape of Canada. It is an excellent occasion for Aboriginal groups to showcase and share their diverse cultural heritage. It is also an opportunity for you to learn about the traditions and outstanding contributions of Aboriginal peoples across this country.

I encourage you to find out what events and activities are taking place in your community and to take the opportunity to participate. For more information, please visit the 2010 Events page.

National Aboriginal Day is a day for all Canadians - join in the Celebration and have a happy, safe National Aboriginal Day!

Chuck Strahl,
Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians
