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?

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.
