First Nations across Canada are celebrating their history and culture today.
In our area, the Algonquins of Ontario are hosting a variety of events in Ottawa, including the Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival. Events are also scheduled in Pembroke at the Waka-ehi Lodge, including building a sweat under the guidance of indigenous elders.
Chief Wendy Jocko of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation says these events are a wonderful opportunity to learn about the culture and traditions of Indigenous people. She wishes for everyone to get out and enjoy the festivities in their area.
