Many Nations, One Heartbeat ᐊᐧᐦᑯᐦᑐᐃᐧᐣ Wáhkóhtowin: National Indigenous Peoples Day
Following the flow of the river and the path of ancestors, the first day of the 11-day celebration, Many Nations, One Heartbeat ᐊᐧᐦᑯᐦᑐᐃᐧᐣ Wáhkóhtowin, opens with a sacred fire and welcomes everyone into a day of ceremony, remembrance, and resilience.
Today’s activities include a community powwow, Indigenous artist performances, art activations, markets/food trucks, children and youth activities, culture-sharing talks, a skateboarding and spray-paint demonstration, and more.
Led by Treaty 1 Elders, youth, and knowledge keepers, the day will honour Residential School and Sixties Scoop Survivors, celebrate Indigenous languages and traditions, and offer healing-centred and celebratory programming. This day is rooted in truth, kinship, and respect.
