National Indigenous Peoples Day is a day meant to celebrate Indigenous cultures and the contributions that First Nations, Inuit and Metis people have made in Canada.
As a Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft made its way into Victoria’s Inner Harbour, aboard was a memorial monument created for children of residential schools who never made it home.
“Today is a reflection of the necessities for these conversations to continue,” said Bradley Dick, a Lekwungen community member. “We’re just at the tip of the iceberg.”A crowd gathered to say farewell to the pole before it makes its way to Vancouver for a ceremony later in the afternoon.
“We’re going to have a series of films that demonstrate different aspects of Indigenous culture,” said Saucier.“What’s particularly important is to make sure that our Indigenous students understand that we celebrate with them on this important day,” said Saucier. Events like these happened from coast to coast, bringing people together to create understanding for the future.
