Arts, Culture and Heritage

Through learning resources, events and the Aboriginal Art Centre, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) works with Aboriginal partners to help celebrate, raise awareness of, and preserve Aboriginal arts, culture and heritage. These help define our national identity and enrich the lives of all Canadians.
