Considering that the Constitution of Canada recognizes the existing rights of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada since they have a long and rich history in Yukon and have made, and continue to make, important contributions to Yukon, it is considered appropriate that there be a day to mark and celebrate these contributions and to recognize the different cultures of the Aboriginal Peoples of Yukon and Canada. In particular, the 21 June of each year shall be known as “National Aboriginal Day” and shall be observed as a holiday. The text consists of 3 sections.
