Sunday June 21 was Canada's 13th National Aboriginal Day. Ceremonies all across the country marked the occasion, celebrating First Nations people, their customs and culture and their accomplishments.Drumming & Song: Little HawkIt is not a coincidence that the day marking the beginning of summer, the Solstice, was chosen for National Aboriginal Day celebrations 13 years ago. Traditional First Nations culture is deeply tied to the turning of the seasons. This year's celebrations were marred by the ongoing flu epidemic in Northern Manitoba, where poverty, over-housing and poor living conditions are the norm. Indeed, the conditions found at St. Teresa Point, Manitoba are not an anomaly. Poverty, poor living conditions, and serious health issues among other issues, continue to dog First Nations peoples in Canada. The status of Canada's First Nations has always been precarious, and has been a source of concern for world bodies, like the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, which said in its report presented to Canada in 2005: "Economic, social and human indicators of well-being, quality of life and development are consistently lower among Aboriginal people than other Canadians. Poverty, infant mortality, unemployment, morbidity, suicide, criminal detention, children on welfare, women victims of abuse, child prostitution, are all much higher among Aboriginal people than in any other sector of Canadian society, whereas educational attainment, health standards, housing conditions, family income, access to economic opportunity and to social services are generally lower. Canada has taken up the challenge to close this gap. Ever since early colonial settlement, Canadas indigenous peoples were progressively dispossessed of their lands, resources and culture, a process that led them into destitution, deprivation and dependency, which in turn generated an assertive and, occasionally, militant social movement in defense of their rights, restitution of their lands and resources and struggle for equal opportunity and self-determination."
