National Indigenous History Month in Canada
For generations Indigenous peoples have celebrated the beginning of summer on June 21. The day with spiritual and cultural significance, the arrival of warm weather and long hours of light.
Every June since 2009, governments, businesses, schools and other groups have marked National Indigenous History Month with celebrations and events that highlight the achievements and culture of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.
According to the Canadian encyclopedia “the term Indigenous peoples (or Aboriginal peoples) refers to First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. These are the original inhabitants of the land that is now Canada. In the 2021 census by Statistics Canada, over 1.8 million people in Canada identified as Indigenous, making up 5 per cent of the national population. Though severely threatened — and in certain cases extinguished — by colonial forces, Indigenous culture, language and social systems have shaped the development of Canada and continue to grow and thrive despite extreme adversity.”

TIn 2008, the UN gathered and uniformly created World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8.
According to World Economic Forum “World Ocean Day also builds on two recent victories – a High Seas Treaty agreement to protect the world's biodiversity in international waters, and a commitment from global leaders to 30x30, conserving 30% of our lands, water and ocean by 2030.”
The ocean is home to the majority of plants and animals on Earth, from single-cell organisms to the blue whale.
From food to jobs, it's a lifeline for billions of people, too. But the ocean is also a beautiful natural environment with an invaluable recreational role to play.
our waters face huge risks from overfishing, climate change, and plastic pollution.
“Ocean Day is meant to shed light on the wonder of the ocean and how it’s our life source, supporting humanity and every other organism on Earth.”
