National Aboriginal Day (French: Journée nationale des Autochtones) is a day recognizing and celebrating the cultures and contributions of the First Nations Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. The day was first celebrated in 1996 after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Roméo LeBlanc to be celebrated on June 21 annually. Most provincial jurisdictions however do not recognise it as a statutory holiday.
