In a statement marking the 30th anniversary of June 21, Carney visited the Nanaimo Museum with his wife to learn about Snuneymuxw First Nation culture and highlighted Indigenous stewardship, including continent mapping thousands of years before Europeans. Critics like retired professor Ricardo Duchesne and historian Mark F. Proudman argued that preliterate societies lacked formal maps, calling it flattery that overlooks issues like clean water access. Defenders pointed to oral traditions, star navigation, petroglyphs and ephemeral drawings on birchbark or sand, as noted in the Canadian Encyclopedia, though no verified pre-contact maps match European styles with scales and projections. The exchange unfolded as Canadians marked the holiday with events from Ottawa drum circles to local markets.
