At Major's Hill Park in Ottawa, Ontario, hosts Beatrice Deer and Devery Jacobs present many amazing artists on the stage for Aboriginal Day Live.
- We hear from the Ogimaakwewak Singers, the Inuit Throat Singing Choir and Rhonda Head in the Flag Song to honour the various Aboriginal Nations living on this land we call Canada, for thousands of years.
- Florent Vollant grew up on Malioténam Reserve in Eastern Quebec. For Vollant, music has always been a form of medicine and spirituality; as a child he heard his grandfather singing traditional songs with the drum. In the 1980's, Florent partnered with Claude Mckenzie to form the band 'Kashtin.'
- Genevieve Fisher is a rising country music star with a number of hits that were on the country charts. Her parents are of Italian and indigenous descent, and she is from London, Ontario.
- Elisapie, born in Salluit, Quebec, she was adopted at birth by an Inuit family. Elisapie strives to be an ambassador for the Inuit culture.
- Zachary Richard, a musician born in Lousiana, USA, was presented with the "Order of Canada" in 2009, making him one of the very few Americans to receive Canada's highest civilian award.
