National Indigenous Peoples Day

June is National Indigenous History Month, and this Saturday, June 21, marks National Indigenous Peoples Day—a powerful time to honour the cultures, resilience, and rights of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across these lands.

This is more than a celebration. It’s a call to action.

Across the country, Indigenous-led events are taking place—sunrise ceremonies, pow wows, concerts, cultural festivals, and more. These are moments of reflection, community, and solidarity. We encourage you to take part and stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities.

Amnesty has launched a new National Indigenous Peoples Day Resources Page featuring:
