Documented date context
Canada marks National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21 to celebrate the cultures, languages, contributions and histories of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Canadian observance began as National Aboriginal Day in 1996 and was renamed National Indigenous Peoples Day; the two names refer to the same June 21 event, as reflected in Canada’s federal proclamation. It is distinct from the United Nations International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, observed on August 9. This countdown tracks June 21, not August 9 or a provincial statutory day off.

How to read the days-until answer
The headline measures the gap between today’s calendar date and the next National Indigenous Peoples Day (formerly National Aboriginal Day) date; it does not count today as an extra day.
