If you were out and about in Yellowknife today (June 21st) you would have noticed many Yellowknifer’s and people from around the Territories celebrating and participating in National Aboriginal Day. National Aboriginal Day is a celebration recognizing First Nations’ contributions to Canadian society. This years celebration of Aboriginal Day took place at the McNiven Beach parking lot – across the road from the CBC building.

I spent a few hours blending in with the crowd, taking in the aboriginal entertainment and mostly people watching. It seemed like half of Yellowknife was on hand for the event including Member of Parliament Dennis Bevington and an assortment of other recognizable locals. Here are some pictures from the event.
