At the Kondiaronk Belvedere on Mount Royal, the drum salutes the sun at the summer solstice on Canada's National Aboriginal Day. The ceremony, first celebrated in 1996, is held all across Canada. This year, First Nations leaders and dignitaries from different levels of the Canadian government gathered to celebrate the Solstice of the Nations. Innus from the Uashat-Maliotenam community, lit a fire that was passed to the organizers of the Fête Nationale du Québec to bring together and create stronger bonds of friendship, between the peoples of Québec.
