Today in Canada we celebrate National Indigenous People’s Day. Falling on summer solstice each year, it’s an important day to recognize. In honour of this day, I’ve collected a few of my favourite and authentic Indigenous artists/businesses to share on the blog to add to another post I did a while back which you can find here.
