What does National Aboriginal Day mean to you?

"National aboriginal day means a great deal to me. It is a day that our people are are celebrated on a national level and it provides an opportunity to our non aboriginal friends to learn more about our culture and traditions" - Michael Linklater

Michael is somewhat of a local celebrity. Michael is known best for his basketball career. He is also a huge contribution to his community. He endorsed the #boyswithbraids campaign stating: "I wear my braid to honor my ancestors and my culture". We sincerely appreciate that he took the time to participate in our one question interview for National Aboriginal Day
