National Indigenous Day is coming up on Monday, June 21st.
CKDM chatted with the Dauphin Friendship Centre to see how they plan to celebrate.
Partners for Careers Counsellor, Jari Thompson spoke about how the centre plans to celebrate.
"In the past, we have delivered baskets of bannock to businesses & organizations associated with the Friendship Centre as a way to create awareness for the day as well as to celebrate our unique heritage and culture."
Last year the Centre could not follow through with its tradition due to health restrictions in the province from the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year is a different story.
Thompson says the centre plans to bring back the bannock delivery tradition.
In addition to the bannock deliveries, Thompson noted that the centre will also celebrate the day by participating in the summer solstice virtual event hosted by the National Association of Friendship centres.
The Dauphin Friendship Centre will share content from the virtual event on their Facebook page, which you can find here.
