National Indigenous Peoples Day 🧡

Sunday June 21, 2026, we celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, languages, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.

At the National Indigenous Diabetes Association, we honour the strength, resilience, and knowledge of Indigenous communities and recognize the importance of Indigenous-led approaches to health, wellness, and diabetes prevention and care.

National Indigenous Peoples Day is an opportunity to reflect, learn, and celebrate the diverse histories and vibrant cultures that continue to shape our communities and our future.
