National Aboriginal Day Greetings!

National Aboriginal Day is being celebrated by the many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis cultures across Canada today.

May all Nisga'a throughout the country and the world take pride in your rich history and always be reminded that Nisga'a Ayuuk, language and culture are the foundation of our identity and indeed the three key ingredients that make us the resilient, vibrant, strong, sophisticated Nation that we are.

Aama sa as n'isim' hli gadihl Nisga'a!
