Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, hosts National Aboriginal Day
celebrations on June 21, 2008. This historic day in First Nations
history is an annual Canadian event. Canada chose June 21 because of
the cultural significance of the summer solstice and because many
Aboriginal groups mark this day as a time to celebrate their heritage.
The celebrations will therefore continue at Sainte-Marie on Saturday
June 21 with the Jock Family Water Drum and Dance Group, Neil
Monague’s Christian Island Hand Drum Group, Aboriginal Crafters, and a
host of Native demonstrations and displays throughout the historic
site.
