Celebrate National Aboriginal Day This June 21

Released on June 20, 2017

Join with the Government of Saskatchewan as we celebrate National Aboriginal Day this Wednesday.

“Our province’s very name 'Saskatchewan' is derived from the Cree language,” Minister Responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs Donna Harpauer said.  “Aboriginal peoples are a fundamental part of our province’s history, diversity, and identity.  It’s important for all of us to recognize National Aboriginal Day, whether that’s by participating in a community event or other activity that promotes understanding of reconciliation.”

First proclaimed in 1996, National Aboriginal Day is for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

On a day dedicated to the celebration of Aboriginal heritage, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is pleased to announce the intention to designate the Regina Indian Industrial School Cemetery as Provincial Heritage Property.  Through the formal designation process, a Notice of Intention to Designate this property was signed in May and the Order to Designate will be eligible in July.  It is anticipated that there will be an event to mark this designation this summer.

“Our government intends to designate this cemetery as Provincial Heritage Property,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said.  “The Regina Indian Industrial School Cemetery needs to be recognized, remembered and understood as part of our shared history.  This Provincial Heritage Property designation will recognize the forty-three different First Nations communities, mostly in Saskatchewan, whose children attended the Regina Indian Industrial School, and reflects the Government of Saskatchewan’s continuing commitment to truth and reconciliation.”
