How to take part in Indigenous Peoples Day in the London area
CBC
Hundreds of people are expected to gather at the Wortley Village Green in London on Friday to celebrate Indigenous Solidarity Day through dancing, learning, and food.
A similar celebration is taking place on the Oneida Nation of the Thames territory, where everyone is also welcome. Across the country, First Nation communities mark June 21 as a day to honour heritage, resilience and Indigenous contributions across Turtle Island.
The day started with sunrise ceremonies in Wortley Village and on the Oneida territory, with people gathering around a sacred fire.
"Depending on which nation it is, we greet the sun with a song or a prayer," said Ira Timothy, who is Lanape from Delaware First Nation and a spokesperson for the Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians. "It's to welcome the day with good spirit and good mind, to make sure everyone is looked after."
Expect to enjoy a day full of live music, dance, and even lacrosse demonstrations getting started at lunch time and running until late afternoon. Smoke dancers will also be performing at both locations.
"If there's something you want to learn about in a dance, a significant item, or you want to learn about something culturally significant that's happening, now is the time to do it. Come and ask us," Timothy said.
