“The Heritage Gala Weekend,
an oral/visual celebration of life and beauty,
linking human beings with our natural world
and
recognizing our dependency upon it
and our stewardship for it.”

"The Heritage Gala weekend honours the aboriginal and settler heritages of Canada, on the occasion of Alberta's centennial", Satya Das
This day was inspired by Aboriginal artists and Nature's Laws
_____________________________
The laws of Indigenous Peoples around the world are often referred to as “Nature’s Laws."
The spiritual dimension of existence is always operative in First Nations' culture. Spiritual concepts were expressed in terms of “truths” or “laws” and people were expected to act according to these laws in every aspect of their daily life. In other words, the laws were meant to be “lived," rather than “obeyed." Such "living-out" of Nature's Law promoted a balanced, healthy and well-rounded community.
"...and through arts and culture restoration takes place." P Tiesenhausen
