It all begins on June 21 on National Indigenous Peoples Day with Indigenous performers, Inuit games, skateboarding demonstrations, a Kookum fashion show, a handmade market and more. The Forks will co-host alongside the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba. Events between June 21 and July 1 will each focus on different treaty regions in Manitoba, uplifting language, traditions and teachings of Indigenous nations while recognizing shared stories of all who live here today.
