The rest of Canada will celebrate along with them, recognizing their important contributions to this country as part of National Aboriginal Day.

Robbie Hicks in Ontario and Josh Palansky in British Columbia both sent in some great photos from past celebrations: the pow-wow Gathering of Nations in Toronto and Canada Day festivities at The Forks in Winnipeg. Enjoy!

Josh Palansky attended Canada Day celebrations at The Forks in Winnipeg, a historical place where the Red River and Assiniboine River meet, and snapped a photo of this woman in native dress.
