Sunday saw a national observance of Aboriginal Day. The 21 is not a legal holiday but an endorsed observance. Government funding underwrites the activities but other then salaried employees that may take it in there is no Statuary holiday pay involved. The Truth and reconciliation commission recommended that it be a legal holiday. However it effects less then 4 percent of the population and is not enough to justify a holiday. However friendship between our peoples, even as it flows to mutual citizenship remain.
