What does National Aboriginal Day mean to Indigenous people?
Celebrations have wrapped up for National Aboriginal Day, but what does the day represent to Indigenous people?
paNOW asked five prominent Indigenous people from Prince Albert and area to find out what the day means to them personally.
John Hanikenne, the president of the Council of Aboriginal Peoples’ Saskatchewan chapter, said it’s a chance to recognize a shared heritage.
“[It’s also a chance] to share that heritage with the other people who live in Canada and show them that we’re good people,” he said.
