Despite the cool weather on the first day of summer, the Memorial community joined the Aboriginal Resource Office and MUNSU for a National Indigenous Peoples Day celebration.
Participants were treated to moose and vegan burgers while listening to traditional music sung by members of the Nunatsiavut and Mi’kmaw communities.
