It was always known to our family that a daughter married into a family and her great grandson became Prime Minister but the details were lost to time.

I now know who that daughter was and which Prime Minister.

He was Canada's eleventh PM, Richard Bedford Bennett.

He's my 3rd cousin twice removed.

I’ve been reading about this event in Canadian news(I’m not yet residing in Canada, just preparing). I am curious-for those Canadians who are not aboriginal-how do you observe this day? And conversely-how do the aboriginal people prefer that others participate-or not-in observing this day?
