The History of King's Birthday?
The King's Birthday (or Queen's Birthday when the reigning monarch is female) has been celebrated in Australia for over two centuries. The holiday dates back to the British tradition of honoring the sovereign's birthday, regardless of their actual birth date.
The practice of officially celebrating the monarch's birthday began with King George II in 1748. Since British monarchs often had birthdays in months with poor weather, they established an official birthday celebration in summer, separate from their actual birth date.
The holiday has been observed since the early 19th century, with colonial governors officially marking the day. The date has changed over time depending on the reigning monarch's actual birthday.
Queen Victoria (1819-1901): The holiday was widely observed in Australian colonies in honor of Queen Victoria.
King Edward VII (1901-1910): His birthday fell on November 9, but the public holiday remained in June.
King George V (1910-1936): Set the tradition of celebrating the monarch's birthday on a fixed date in June, which continued for most subsequent rulers.
King George VI (1936-1952) and Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022): The holiday remained in June even though their birthdays were in December (George VI) and April (Elizabeth II).
King Charles III (2022 – present): His actual birthday is November 14, but Australia continues to celebrate the holiday in June.
The holiday now remains a public holiday in most states and territories in June.

What Do People Do on This Day?
The King's Birthday in Australia is a public holiday in most states and territories, giving many Australians a day off to relax and take part in various celebrations.
The Australian Government releases the King's Birthday Honours List, recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions in areas such as community service, business, sports, and the arts. Some cities hold ceremonial events, including military parades, gun salutes, and flag-raising ceremonies to honor the monarchy.
Major sporting events are held on this long weekend, especially in Victoria and New South Wales. Some areas host fireworks displays and community fairs, although they are less common than on other public holidays.
Since the holiday falls in June (winter in Australia), many people take advantage of the long weekend to go on short trips or have family gatherings.

The History of the Sarawak Governor's Birthday
The History of the Sarawak Governor's Birthday is tied to the formation of Sarawak as a self-governing entity and its integration into Malaysia.
The position of Yang di-Pertua Negeri (Governor) was established in 1963 when Sarawak gained self-governance from British colonial rule on July 22, 1963. As Sarawak joined Malaysia on September 16, 1963, the role of the Governor replaced the British colonial Governor, becoming a constitutional head of state.
Unlike states with hereditary rulers (sultans), Sarawak, as a non-monarchical state, appoints a Governor as its highest official. The Governor is appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia).
The Sarawak Governor's Birthday began as a formal occasion to honor the role of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri in the state's governance and cultural preservation. Initially, celebrations were modest, with ceremonies limited to government offices and a few community gatherings.
Over the decades, the Sarawak Governor's Birthday evolved from a strictly official event to an inclusive celebration involving cultural and community activities. The day became an opportunity to recognize the contributions of individuals and organizations to Sarawak's development.
In recent years, the event has expanded to include public parades, cultural performances, and community engagement initiatives, reflecting Sarawak's unique identity.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On the Sarawak Governor's Birthday, the people of Sarawak engage in various ceremonies, cultural events, and community activities to honor the Yang di-Pertua Negeri and celebrate Sarawak's rich cultural heritage.
The central event takes place at Astana Negeri, the Governor's official residence in Kuching. Highlights include guard of honor parade, award presentations, and Governor's speech.
Special prayers for peace and well-being are held in mosques across Sarawak to pray for the Governor's health and the state's prosperity.
Public spaces, streets and government buildings are adorned with Sarawak state flags and celebratory banners.
Cultural dances, music, and art displays highlight Sarawak's diverse ethnic groups. Performances often include the Ngajat dance, Datun Julud, and music played on the sape.
Many Sarawakians spend the day with loved ones, enjoying meals or attending events together.

The History of Day of the Race?
Day of the Race evolved into a highly symbolic and contested observance, representing themes of colonial legacy, cultural identity, and historical reflection across Latin America and Spain.
The idea of Día de la Raza was first proposed in Spain in the early 1900s by Faustino Rodríguez-San Pedro, president of the Ibero-American Union. The aim was to celebrate the cultural and historical ties between Spain and Latin America, united by the Spanish language and shared colonial history.
October 12 was chosen because it marked Columbus's first landing in the Americas, a date traditionally viewed as the beginning of the Hispanic world.
By the 1920s and 1930s, many Latin American countries had adopted Día de la Raza as a public holiday.
Initially, it was a celebration of Hispanic heritage, often emphasizing the "discovery" of the Americas, the spread of Christianity and European civilization, and the emergence of mestizo (mixed) culture.
As postcolonial awareness grew, especially in the late 20th century, many people began to challenge the original narrative of the holiday.
Critics pointed out that the day glorified the colonial conquest, cultural erasure and violence against Indigenous peoples.
As a result, many countries have redefined or renamed the holiday to emphasize Indigenous resistance and resilience, cultural diversity and historical justice.

The History of Lotu a Tamaiti?
The origins of Lotu a Tamaiti date back to the early 20th century, during the period of strong Christian missionary activity in Samoa. Missionaries introduced the idea of a special service dedicated to children's role in faith and society, emphasizing their importance in Christian teachings.
By the 1900s–1910s, Samoan churches began holding a dedicated Sunday where children led worship, reciting Bible verses, singing hymns, and taking part in dramas and prayers. The wearing of white clothing by children became a hallmark of the day, symbolizing purity and innocence. This gave rise to the name White Sunday.
As the tradition grew, Lotu a Tamaiti spread beyond the churches and into national culture, becoming one of the most widely observed holidays in Samoa.
The Government of Samoa officially recognized White Sunday as a public holiday, with the second Sunday in October as the day of worship and the following Monday declared a public holiday for families.
Over time, the holiday evolved into a blend of religious service and cultural celebration. While the church remains central, families also use the day to honor children, give them gifts, and prepare feasts where children are served first.
Today, Lotu a Tamaiti is one of the most significant national holidays in Samoa, standing alongside Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Independence Day.

The History of Columbus Day?
The history of Columbus Day in the United States is a blend of celebration, controversy, and evolution over time. Columbus Day originated as a celebration of Italian-American heritage, marking the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. The first known celebration in the United States took place on October 12, 1792, in New York City, commemorating the 300th anniversary of Columbus's landing.
Colorado was the first U.S. state to observe Columbus Day in 1907. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Columbus Day a national holiday with the celebration on October 12. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved the celebration of Columbus Day to the second Monday in October. This change became effective in 1971, aligning it with the contemporary practice of creating long weekends.
The holiday has become increasingly controversial due to the historical impact of Columbus's voyages on the indigenous populations of the Americas. In response to this controversy, some states and cities have replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day to honor the history and cultures of Native Americans.
Today, Columbus Day is a federal holiday, but its observance varies across the United States. Some states and cities celebrate it, while others have replaced it with Indigenous Peoples' Day or do not observe it at all.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On Columbus Day in the United States, activities and observances vary widely, reflecting the diverse perspectives and traditions of different communities.
In cities with large Italian-American communities, Columbus Day is often celebrated with parades and events that highlight Italian culture, heritage, and contributions to American society.
Local festivals, concerts, and gatherings are common, featuring Italian music, dance, food, and sometimes historical reenactments.
Schools and educational institutions often use the day to teach about the Age of Exploration, including the voyages of Columbus and their impact on history.
In areas where Columbus Day has been replaced or supplemented by Indigenous Peoples' Day, there are events and activities focused on Native American culture and history.
For many people, the long weekend provides an opportunity for family gatherings or short vacations.
The way people observe Columbus Day in the United States often reflects their cultural background, personal beliefs, and the local community's stance on the holiday's significance.
Who was Christopher Columbus?
Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) was an Italian explorer and navigator who played an important role in world history by making four transatlantic voyages, under the auspices of the Spanish monarchs, that opened the way for the widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa. He began his career as a mariner in the Mediterranean and later sailed to the Aegean Sea, and Northern Europe. Columbus proposed a voyage westward across the Atlantic Ocean in search of a direct sea route to Asia. After years of seeking sponsorship, King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I of Spain agreed to support his expedition.
– First Voyage (1492-1493): Columbus set sail with three ships and landed in the Bahamas. He also explored parts of Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
– Second Voyage (1493-1496): On his second voyage, he explored more of the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico and Jamaica.
– Third Voyage (1498-1500): Columbus reached the South American mainland (Venezuela) and the Orinoco River.
– Fourth Voyage (1502-1504): He explored areas in Central America, looking for a strait to the Indian Ocean but encountered numerous hardships.
Columbus's voyages led to the widespread awareness of the Americas in Europe and the eventual European colonization of the New World. While Columbus is often credited with "discovering" the Americas, his arrival marked the beginning of centuries of European conquest and colonization, which had devastating effects on the native populations through disease, war, and exploitation.

The History of National Heroes' Day?
Before National Heroes' Day, October 12 was observed as Discovery Day, commemorating the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World in 1492. However, growing awareness of colonialism's impact and a desire to celebrate Bahamian identity and sovereignty led to a movement to replace Discovery Day.
This movement gained strength in the early 2000s, supported by civic leaders and advocates who argued that Bahamian citizens who advanced civil rights and national pride deserved public recognition more than a European colonizer.
In 2007, the Bahamas Parliament passed the National Heroes Act, which created a formal system of national honors, and officially recognized National Heroes' Day to be observed on the second Monday in October.
In 2013, the holiday was first officially celebrated, replacing Discovery Day in the calendar.

The History of Heroes and Forefathers Day?
For many years, the British Virgin Islands observed Columbus Day in October, like several other Caribbean and U.S. territories. The day honored Christopher Columbus' 1493 landing in the Virgin Islands, a moment that marked the beginning of European colonization but also the displacement and suffering of Indigenous peoples.
Over time, many in the Virgin Islands questioned the relevance of Columbus Day, noting that it celebrated colonial history rather than the achievements and struggles of Virgin Islanders themselves.
In line with a global movement to replace colonial holidays with ones honoring local heritage, the BVI began to explore alternatives that would better reflect the territory's identity.
In 2020, the Government of the Virgin Islands officially replaced Columbus Day with Heroes and Forefathers Day, to be observed on the third Monday in October. The change was meant to honor the forefathers, national heroes, and leaders of the Virgin Islands who shaped the community through their vision, resilience and leadership.
It also recognized the ordinary men and women whose work and sacrifices contributed to the territory's survival and progress.
The holiday shifts focus away from colonial figures like Columbus and instead centers the narrative on the Virgin Islands' own people. It reinforces pride in local history, encourages the younger generation to learn about their heritage, and celebrates the values of strength, resilience and leadership that define the BVI.

The History of Liberty Day?
Liberty Day commemorates David Hamilton Jackson's fight for free speech, workers' rights, and social justice during the colonial era.
Born on November 1, 1884, on St. Croix, Jackson became one of the most influential figures in the Danish West Indies (the former name of the Virgin Islands). At a time when Denmark ruled the islands, basic rights like freedom of the press, workers' protections, and civil liberties were denied to the local population, particularly those of African descent.
Jackson, a gifted speaker and advocate, dedicated his life to challenging the colonial system and improving the lives of ordinary Virgin Islanders.
In 1915, Jackson traveled to Denmark and successfully petitioned for the repeal of press censorship in the Danish colonies. Later that year, he founded The Herald, the first free newspaper in the Virgin Islands. He also organized the first labor union, giving a voice to working-class people who had long been ignored.
In recognition of his work, his birthday November 1 was declared Liberty Day, symbolizing the freedom of the press and the dignity of labor. David Hamilton Jackson is remembered as a foundational figure in Virgin Islands civil rights history.

The History of V.C. Bird Day?
V.C. Bird Day celebrates the life and legacy of Sir Vere Cornwall Bird Sr., one of Antigua and Barbuda's most influential political leaders and the country's first Prime Minister. Often called the "Father of the Nation", his leadership shaped the twin-island state's transformation from colonial rule to full independence.
Sir Vere Bird was born on December 9, 1910, in St. John's, Antigua. Coming from humble beginnings, he rose to prominence in the 1930s and 1940s as a labour activist and advocate for workers' rights. During this period, working conditions on the sugar plantations were extremely harsh, with low wages and limited freedoms for the predominantly Black labour force. Bird became a founding member of the Antigua Trades and Labour Union (ATLU) in 1939, which played a pivotal role in improving wages, working hours, and living standards for Antiguans and Barbudans.
Transitioning from union leadership to politics, Bird led the Antigua Labour Party (ALP), established in 1946, and became the central figure in the islands' political development. Under his leadership, Antigua gained self-government in 1967 and ultimately achieved independence from Britain on November 1, 1981, with Bird serving as the independent nation's first Prime Minister.
Following his retirement from politics in 1994 and his passing in 1999, the government declared December 9, his birthday, a national public holiday known as V.C. Bird Day. The day honors his immense contributions to the country's social progress, labour movement, and nation-building efforts.
Today, V.C. Bird Day is marked by official ceremonies, speeches and cultural events across Antigua and Barbuda. Citizens pay tribute at his statue in St. John's, schools host educational programs, and communities reflect on the values of leadership, perseverance, and unity that defined Sir Vere Cornwall Bird's remarkable life and legacy.

The History of the Sultan of Perak's Birthday
The Sultan of Perak's Birthday is tied to the rich history of the Perak Sultanate, one of the oldest continuous monarchies in Malaysia, and the deep respect for the Sultan's role as a symbol of unity, leadership, and tradition.
The Perak Sultanate was established in 1528, following the fall of the Malacca Sultanate to the Portuguese in 1511. Sultan Muzaffar Shah I, a descendant of the Malacca royal family, became the first Sultan of Perak. He brought with him the cultural, religious and administrative traditions of the Malacca Sultanate. The monarchy has since played a vital role in shaping Perak's political and cultural identity.
Over centuries, the Sultan of Perak has served as the constitutional monarch and head of state, the protector of Islam in the state, and a unifying figure representing the people of Perak.
The Sultan's Birthday became an occasion to honor the ruler's contributions and reaffirm loyalty to the monarchy. Historically, the Sultan's Birthday was celebrated with traditional royal ceremonies.
During British colonial rule, the Sultan's role became more ceremonial, but the birthday celebration remained an important occasion.
The British recognized the Sultan's Birthday as a way to maintain loyalty and cultural continuity within the Malay states.
After Malaysia gained independence in 1957, the Sultan of Perak's Birthday was formalized as a public holiday in Perak.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On the Sultan of Perak's Birthday, the people of Perak observe a mix of formal ceremonies, cultural events, and community activities to honor the Sultan's leadership and contributions to the state.
The main celebration takes place at the Istana Iskandariah, the royal palace in Kuala Kangsar. The event is attended by the Sultan, members of the royal family, government officials, and dignitaries.
A ceremonial parade featuring the Malaysian Armed Forces and police units is conducted in the Sultan's honor.
Public spaces, streets, and government buildings are decorated with Perak state flags and banners, lights and floral arrangements to create a festive atmosphere.
Special prayers for peace and well-being are held in mosques across Perak, praying for the Sultan's health and the state's prosperity.
Traditional Dances and Music including traditional Zapin, Joget, and Malay Gamelan, showcase Perak's cultural heritage.
Residents gather for communal events such as feasts, exhibitions and festivals organized by local communities and government agencies.
Acts of charity, such as distributing food to the needy or hosting donation drives, are common as a way of honoring the Sultan's values.
Many families take advantage of the public holiday to spend time together, visiting parks, heritage sites, or local attractions.
More about Perak
Perak is one of Malaysia's largest and most historically significant states. Located in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia, Perak has a long history of mining, trade and governance, which has shaped its identity as a vibrant and unique state.
Perak is situated along the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia, bordered by Kedah and Penang to the north, Kelantan and Pahang to the east, Selangor to the south, and the Straits of Malacca to the west. Its capital is Ipoh, and the royal town is Kuala Kangsar.
Perak covers an area of 21,035 square kilometers, making it the fourth-largest state in Malaysia, and it has a population of over 2.5 million.
Archaeological findings suggest that Perak has been inhabited for over 50,000 years. The Perak Man, a prehistoric skeleton, is one of Southeast Asia's most significant archaeological discoveries. Before the establishment of the Perak Sultanate, the area was part of the Malacca Sultanate.
The Perak Sultanate was founded in 1528 by Sultan Muzaffar Shah I, a descendant of the Malacca royal family, after the fall of Malacca to the Portuguese.
The Dutch briefly controlled parts of Perak in the 17th century, building forts to protect their trade interests.
In the 19th century, the British became involved in Perak due to its rich tin deposits. The Pangkor Treaty of 1874 marked the beginning of British indirect rule in Perak, establishing a Resident to advise the Sultan.
Perak was occupied by Japanese forces during World War II from 1942 to 1945.
Perak became part of the Federation of Malaya in 1957, achieving independence from British rule, and later joined Malaysia in 1963.

The History of Bonifacio Day?
Andres Bonifacio (born November 30, 1863) is known as the Father of the Philippine Revolution. Coming from humble origins, he worked as a warehouse clerk and laborer but was deeply influenced by the nationalist writings of José Rizal.
In 1892, Bonifacio co-founded the Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (Katipunan), a secret revolutionary society that sought Philippine independence from Spain.
Unlike Rizal, who pushed for peaceful reform, Bonifacio believed that only armed revolution could free the Philippines. Under his leadership, the Katipunan grew into a mass movement and launched the Philippine Revolution on August 23, 1896, also known as the Cry of Pugad Lawin.
After Philippine independence, there was recognition of the need to honor the heroes of the revolution. In 1921, the Philippine Legislature passed a law officially declaring November 30 (Bonifacio's birthday) as a holiday.
Unlike Rizal Day (December 30, marking Rizal's death), Bonifacio Day commemorates his birth, symbolizing beginnings and the revolutionary spirit.
Bonifacio Day pays tribute not only to Bonifacio but also to the working-class roots of the independence movement.

The History of Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day?
The history of Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day is rooted in the recognition of Rosa Parks' profound impact on the Civil Rights Movement, particularly her pivotal role in initiating the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955.
Rosa Parks, an African American seamstress and activist, was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of racial segregation laws. Her act of peaceful resistance became a defining moment in the Civil Rights Movement and led to the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott, which helped dismantle segregation laws in public transportation.
Following her arrest and the boycott, Rosa Parks gained national and international recognition as a symbol of dignity and resistance to racial injustice. Over time, civil rights advocates and organizations called for formal recognition of her contributions.
In 2000, California became the first state to declare February 4 (Rosa Parks' birthday) as Rosa Parks Day. Over the years, states such as Missouri also adopted February 4 as Rosa Parks Day, while other States like Alabama and Ohio chose to observe the day on December 1, marking the anniversary of Parks' arrest.
In 2013, on the 100th anniversary of Rosa Parks' birth, President Barack Obama unveiled a statue of Rosa Parks in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall, further cementing her legacy in American history.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day, people honor Rosa Parks' legacy through a variety of activities, focusing on education, reflection, and community service.
Schools and libraries host discussions, lectures, and storytelling sessions about Rosa Parks' life and the Civil Rights Movement. Teachers and educators incorporate her story into lessons about civil rights, justice, and activism.
There are public speeches and events organized by local governments, civil rights organizations, and community leaders. Many communities use this day to promote volunteerism as a way to honor Parks' commitment to justice and equality.
People also share quotes, stories, and photos of Rosa Parks on social media to raise awareness about her life and legacy. In Alabama, the state where Rosa Parks made her historic stand, public programs, and ceremonies are often held in her honor.
Mrs. Rosa L. Parks
Mrs. Rosa L. Parks (1913–2005) was an iconic figure in the Civil Rights Movement, often referred to as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement." Her courageous decision to stand against racial segregation on December 1, 1955, became a catalyst for transformative change in the United States.
She was born on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her father was a carpenter, and her mother was a teacher. She grew up in Pine Level, Alabama, experiencing firsthand the systemic racism and segregation of the Jim Crow South. Despite the hardships, her mother emphasized the importance of education.
Rosa attended the Montgomery Industrial School for Girls, a progressive institution for African American girls, and later went to Alabama State Teachers College but had to leave to care for her grandmother and mother.
In 1943, Rosa Parks joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), where she served as the secretary. She worked closely with civil rights leaders to document racial injustices, particularly cases of sexual violence against Black women.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her arrest for this act of civil disobedience sparked outrage. This act led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 381-day mass protest organized by the Montgomery Improvement Association. The boycott eventually led to the U.S. Supreme Court that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.
In 1957, Rosa Parks and her husband moved to Detroit to escape the threats and economic reprisals they faced in Alabama, and continued her civil rights activism in Detroit.
Parks received numerous awards for her contributions, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1999). Rosa Parks passed away on October 24, 2005, at the age of 92, in Detroit, Michigan.

The History of King Tupou I Day?
King Tupou I was born around 1797 as Tāufaʻāhau in Haʻapai. He rose from local chiefdom to become King of Tonga in 1845, officially unifying the islands. He reigned until 1893, making him the longest-reigning Tongan monarch at the time. His Christian faith and Western education influenced his leadership style.
Before his rule, Tonga was divided among competing chiefs. He used diplomacy, military strength, and religious influence to bring the islands under one central authority.
He freed commoners from bondage to chiefs, making Tonga one of the first Pacific nations to end feudal practices.
On November 4, 1875, he introduced a written constitution that defined a constitutional monarchy, and established a parliamentary system.
While Tonga entered a Treaty of Friendship with Britain in 1900, King Tupou I's groundwork ensured the nation retained full internal sovereignty.
While King Tupou I died on December 18, 1893, December 4 was chosen as his official remembrance day. However, the exact reason for selecting this date is not fully documented.

The History of the Sultan of Selangor's Birthday
The Sultan of Selangor's Birthday is an annual celebration rooted in the historical significance of the Selangor monarchy, one of the most prominent royal institutions in Malaysia.
The Selangor Sultanate was established in 1745 by Raja Lumu, a Bugis prince from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Raja Lumu was formally recognized as Sultan Salehuddin Shah, the first Sultan of Selangor, after being crowned by the Sultan of Perak.
Historically, the Sultan's Birthday was a day for local communities and royal subjects to honor their ruler through traditional feasts and ceremonies at the royal court, and religious observances.
During the British colonial period (1874–1957), the Sultan's role became more ceremonial as governance shifted to British administrators.
However, the Sultan's Birthday continued to be celebrated, maintaining its cultural and symbolic significance for the people of Selangor.
After Malaysia gained independence in 1957, the Sultan's Birthday was formalized as a state holiday in Selangor.
Today, it became an official occasion to recognize the Sultan's contributions to state development, Islamic leadership and the preservation of Selangor's traditions.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On the Sultan of Selangor's Birthday, the people of Selangor honor their Sultan with various official, cultural, and community activities.
The central event is held at the Sultan's official palace in Klang. Key highlights include guard of honor parade, Sultan's address, and presentation of state honors.
Special prayers for peace and well-being are held in mosques across Selangor to pray for the Sultan's health and the state's prosperity.
Streets, public spaces, and government buildings are adorned with Selangor's state flag and festive banners.
Cultural showcases feature traditional Malay performances. Local artists display works celebrating Selangor's heritage and the Sultan's role in the state's history.
Acts of charity, such as food donations and fundraisers, are organized to reflect the Sultan's values of compassion and service.
Many residents use the public holiday to spend time with loved ones, enjoying the festive atmosphere or visiting local attractions.
The History of Selangor
The history of Selangor, one of Malaysia's most developed and historically significant states, spans ancient kingdoms, colonial rule, and its rise as a center of trade. Situated on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Selangor's strategic location and abundant resources have shaped its dynamic history.
Evidence of human activity in Selangor dates back thousands of years. Archaeological discoveries in Batu Caves and other sites suggest early human settlement during the Paleolithic period.
Selangor was part of the ancient Langkasuka Kingdom (2nd – 14th centuries) and later the Srivijaya Empire (7th – 13th centuries), which were influential maritime powers. By the 15th century, Selangor came under the influence of the Malacca Sultanate, which brought Islam to the region and established trade networks.
Following the fall of the Malacca Sultanate in 1511, Selangor became part of the Johor – Riau Sultanate, which controlled much of the Malay Peninsula.
The Selangor Sultanate was established in 1745 by Raja Lumu, a Bugis prince from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Raja Lumu was crowned as Sultan Salehuddin Shah, the first Sultan of Selangor, by the Sultan of Perak.
The Selangor Sultanate prospered through tin mining, which became a major economic driver.
In the mid-19th century, rivalries among local rulers and disputes over control of Selangor's lucrative tin mines led to internal instability. The British intervened in 1874 under the Pangkor Treaty, placing Selangor under British protection.
In 1896, Selangor became part of the Federated Malay States, a British-administered federation that included Perak, Negeri Sembilan, and Pahang.
During World War II, Selangor was occupied by Japanese forces, causing economic disruption and hardship. The Japanese occupation ended in 1945 with the Allied victory, and Selangor returned to British administration.
After the war, the rise of nationalist movements in Malaya led to increased calls for independence. Selangor played a significant role in the formation of the Federation of Malaya in 1948 and later in gaining independence in 1957.
In 1957, Kuala Lumpur became the capital of the newly independent Federation of Malaya, further elevating Selangor's prominence.
In 1974, Kuala Lumpur was separated from Selangor to become a Federal Territory, with Shah Alam designated as the new state capital.
Today, Selangor remains Malaysia's most developed state, contributing significantly to the country's GDP.

The History of Family Day?
Colonial and Christian traditions heavily influenced modern holidays in Vanuatu. Under both British and French rule, Christian holidays such as Christmas were widely observed.
Over time, the day after Christmas, Boxing Day in many English-speaking countries, was transformed in Vanuatu into something uniquely local: a celebration of family and community rather than commerce or gift-giving. This change reflects the custom-based (kastom) values of Ni-Vanuatu society, where kinship and community are central to identity and wellbeing.
Family Day was officially recognized as a public holiday to encourage people to rest, reconnect with loved ones, and reflect on the importance of family bonds. In a country made up of more than 80 islands and over 100 languages, maintaining strong family ties across distances is seen as crucial to social cohesion and cultural continuity.
Family Day in Vanuatu is a modern holiday with traditional spirit, honoring the cornerstone of the nation: the family.

The History of Rizal Day?
On December 30, 1896, Dr. José Rizal was executed by a Spanish firing squad at Bagumbayan (now Rizal Park/Luneta) in Manila. Rizal was a writer, reformist, and nationalist whose novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo exposed Spanish colonial abuses.
His execution turned him into a martyr of Philippine independence, inspiring Filipinos to continue the struggle against Spain.
In 1898, during the Philippine Revolution, General Emilio Aguinaldo declared December 30 as a day of national mourning in honor of Rizal and other victims of Spanish rule. This was the first official recognition of Rizal's role as a national hero.
In 1901, the American colonial government established the Order of the Knights of Rizal, dedicated to preserving his memory.
In 1902, the Philippine Commission passed Act No. 345, officially declaring December 30 as Rizal Day, making it one of the first legal public holidays in the country.
This was significant because it united Filipinos under a shared symbol of nationalism, even under colonial rule.
Throughout the 20th century, Rizal Day became an important occasion for patriotic expression and civic education.
In 1936, President Manuel L. Quezon declared Rizal a national hero and emphasized his teachings in schools.
In 1942, during the Japanese occupation, the Rizal Monument became a rallying point for Filipino nationalism.

The History of Robert E. Lee's Birthday?
The observance of Robert E. Lee's Birthday has its roots in post-Civil War efforts to honor Confederate leaders and preserve Southern identity. Over time, this commemoration became a state-recognized holiday in some Southern states, though its observance has declined due to its association with the Confederacy and slavery.
Robert E. Lee was the leading general of the Confederate Army, and became a symbol of Southern pride and the "Lost Cause" narrative after his death in 1870.
States in the former Confederacy began formally recognizing Robert E. Lee's Birthday as a state holiday in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Virginia led the way in 1889, creating Lee-Jackson Day to honor both Robert E. Lee and Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. Other Southern states, including Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas, followed suit, establishing holidays in Lee's honor.
The Civil Rights Movement brought increased scrutiny to Confederate commemorations, including Lee's Birthday, due to their association with slavery and racial inequality.
Many states have stopped officially recognizing Robert E. Lee's Birthday as a state holiday, including Virginia (which ended Lee-Jackson Day in 2020).

What Do People Do on This Day?
On Robert E. Lee's Birthday, people in states or communities that still observe the day engage in a variety of activities to honor his legacy as a Confederate general and post-war educator.
Communities hold events at Confederate cemeteries, monuments, or parks named after Robert E. Lee.
Speeches and readings highlight Lee's life, his military career, and his post-war role as president of Washington College.
Lectures or discussions about Lee's role in the Civil War and his contributions after the war are held by historical societies.
In areas where the holiday is no longer officially recognized, observances are often private and involve family or community gatherings.
Many states no longer officially recognize Robert E. Lee's Birthday due to growing awareness of its association with the Confederacy and slavery. Although it is still observed as a state holiday in Alabama and Mississippi, public events have become increasingly rare, and participation is often limited to specific heritage groups.
Robert E. Lee (1807–1870)
Robert E. Lee (1807–1870) was an American military officer best known for serving as the general-in-chief of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War (1861–1865). A controversial figure in American history, Lee is celebrated by some for his military skill and leadership, but criticized by others for his role in defending the Confederacy and its connection to slavery.
He was born on January 19, 1807, in Stratford Hall, Virginia, into a prominent family. After he graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1829 without a single demerit, he served in various military posts, including as superintendent of West Point from 1852 to 1855.
In 1859, he led the forces that suppressed John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry, a key event leading to the Civil War.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Lee was offered command of the Union Army by President Lincoln. However, Lee resigned from the U.S. Army in April 1861, stating his loyalty to Virginia after it seceded, despite opposing secession personally.
Lee ultimately surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, effectively ending the Civil War.
After the war, Lee became a symbol of reconciliation for many, urging Southerners to accept defeat and rejoin the Union. Lee served as president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) from 1865 until his death. Robert E. Lee died on October 12, 1870, in Lexington, Virginia, following a stroke.

The History of Martin Luther King Jr. Day?
The idea of creating a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. began shortly after his assassination in 1968. There was a widespread effort to commemorate his contributions to the civil rights movement and his advocacy for equality and justice. The push for a holiday gained momentum through the efforts of various individuals and organizations.
Over the years, numerous petitions were circulated, and supporters lobbied Congress for the establishment of a national holiday in King's honor. However, the process faced resistance and controversy due to the financial and ideological reasons.
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill into law designating the third Monday of January as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, starting from 1986. This date was chosen because it is near Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday on January 15. The holiday was officially observed for the first time on January 20, 1986, but it wasn't initially recognized by all states. It wasn't until 2000 that all states officially observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a state holiday.

What People Do on This Day?
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is marked by various activities and events aimed at honoring Dr. King's legacy and promoting equal rights. Here are five common ways to celebrate:

Public figures, educators, and leaders often give speeches or lectures discussing the significance of Dr. King's contributions, current civil rights issues, and the importance of continuing the fight against racial inequality.
Museums, libraries, and cultural centers might host special exhibitions, film screenings, music performances, and art displays that celebrate African American culture and history, as well as Dr. King's impact.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not just a day off but a time to engage in activities that reflect Dr. King's legacy of service, nonviolence, and pursuit of equality and justice for all.
Who was Martin Luther King Jr.?
Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister, social activist, and leader in the civil rights movement. He played a pivotal role in advancing civil rights, and he is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using the tactics of nonviolence and civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs.
Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He emerged as a prominent leader during the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, which was sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a bus. The boycott marked the beginning of King's advocacy for nonviolent protest.
In 1957, King, along with other leaders, founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an organization committed to using nonviolent civil disobedience to achieve civil rights reform. King played a central role in various civil rights campaigns, including the Birmingham campaign in 1963, where he wrote his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail." The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom culminated in his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, emphasizing his vision of racial harmony and equality.
Tragically, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. His death had a profound impact on the civil rights movement, and he became a symbol of the ongoing struggle for racial equality.

The History of Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day?
The history of Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day is rooted in the recognition of Rosa Parks' profound impact on the Civil Rights Movement, particularly her pivotal role in initiating the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955.
Rosa Parks, an African American seamstress and activist, was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of racial segregation laws. Her act of peaceful resistance became a defining moment in the Civil Rights Movement and led to the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott, which helped dismantle segregation laws in public transportation.
Following her arrest and the boycott, Rosa Parks gained national and international recognition as a symbol of dignity and resistance to racial injustice. Over time, civil rights advocates and organizations called for formal recognition of her contributions.
In 2000, California became the first state to declare February 4 (Rosa Parks' birthday) as Rosa Parks Day. Over the years, states such as Missouri also adopted February 4 as Rosa Parks Day, while other States like Alabama and Ohio chose to observe the day on December 1, marking the anniversary of Parks' arrest.
In 2013, on the 100th anniversary of Rosa Parks' birth, President Barack Obama unveiled a statue of Rosa Parks in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall, further cementing her legacy in American history.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day, people honor Rosa Parks' legacy through a variety of activities, focusing on education, reflection, and community service.

There are public speeches and events organized by local governments, civil rights organizations, and community leaders. Many communities use this day to promote volunteerism as a way to honor Parks' commitment to justice and equality.
People also share quotes, stories, and photos of Rosa Parks on social media to raise awareness about her life and legacy. In Alabama, the state where Rosa Parks made her historic stand, public programs, and ceremonies are often held in her honor.
Mrs. Rosa L. Parks
Mrs. Rosa L. Parks (1913–2005) was an iconic figure in the Civil Rights Movement, often referred to as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement." Her courageous decision to stand against racial segregation on December 1, 1955, became a catalyst for transformative change in the United States.
She was born on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her father was a carpenter, and her mother was a teacher. She grew up in Pine Level, Alabama, experiencing firsthand the systemic racism and segregation of the Jim Crow South. Despite the hardships, her mother emphasized the importance of education.
Rosa attended the Montgomery Industrial School for Girls, a progressive institution for African American girls, and later went to Alabama State Teachers College but had to leave to care for her grandmother and mother.
In 1943, Rosa Parks joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), where she served as the secretary. She worked closely with civil rights leaders to document racial injustices, particularly cases of sexual violence against Black women.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her arrest for this act of civil disobedience sparked outrage. This act led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 381-day mass protest organized by the Montgomery Improvement Association. The boycott eventually led to the U.S. Supreme Court that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.
In 1957, Rosa Parks and her husband moved to Detroit to escape the threats and economic reprisals they faced in Alabama, and continued her civil rights activism in Detroit.
Parks received numerous awards for her contributions, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1999). Rosa Parks passed away on October 24, 2005, at the age of 92, in Detroit, Michigan.

The History of Preseren Day?
France Prešeren (1800–1849) is considered Slovenia's greatest poet. His works expressed themes of love, freedom, human dignity, and national identity, becoming symbols of Slovenian cultural pride.
His poem "Zdravljica" (A Toast) later became the Slovenian national anthem, with its famous line: "God's blessing on all nations".
Prešeren died on February 8, 1849. This date was later chosen to commemorate his legacy and to celebrate Slovenian culture as a whole.
Prešeren's importance grew in the 19th and early 20th centuries, as Slovenes under Austro-Hungarian rule sought stronger expressions of national identity.
By the early 20th century, commemorations of Prešeren were already taking place. After World War II, February 8 was officially declared a cultural holiday in Slovenia (in 1945).
Following Slovenia's independence in 1991, the day was reaffirmed as the country's official national cultural holiday.

Lincoln's Birthday was first celebrated informally in the years following his assassination in 1865. Public admiration for Lincoln's leadership and sacrifice during a tumultuous period in U.S. history inspired communities to commemorate his birth.
In 1874, Buffalo, New York, was among the first places to hold organized events marking Lincoln's Birthday. By the late 19th century, several states, particularly in the North, began formally recognizing the day.
Illinois, Lincoln's home state, led efforts to honor him with a state holiday. It remains a recognized holiday there to this day. Some states adopted Lincoln's Birthday as a holiday, while others chose to combine it with Washington's Birthday into what is now known as Presidents' Day.
Although Lincoln's Birthday is not a federal holiday, it played a significant role in the establishment of Presidents' Day, which honors both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in many states.

He worked as a farmer, rail-splitter, store clerk, and surveyor. He studied law independently and became a lawyer in 1836. After he moved to Springfield, Illinois, where he established a successful law practice.
He was elected as a member of the Whig Party, supporting internal improvements and economic modernization in 1834. He served one term in Congress from 1847 to 1849, opposing the Mexican-American War and slavery's expansion.
He was elected as the first Republican President in 1860 and then reelected in 1864 during the height of the Civil War.

The History of Washington's Birthday?
Washington's Birthday has a rich history as a federal holiday in the United States. George Washington, born on February 22, 1732, was a foundational figure in American history. He was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and later became the first President of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797.
Washington's birthday was celebrated by Americans dating back to the late 18th century, while he was still alive, even before it became an official federal holiday. After his death in 1799, his birthday became a day of remembrance and informal celebration.
Washington's Birthday was officially established as a federal holiday in 1879 for government offices in Washington D.C., and it was expanded to include all federal offices in 1885. The holiday was initially observed on Washington's actual birthday, February 22. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which took effect in 1971. This act shifted the celebration to the third Monday of February. The move was intended to provide three-day weekends for federal employees.
While the holiday is still officially named Washington's Birthday, it has become commonly known as Presidents' Day. This change began in the late 1960s and was further popularized in the 1980s. The day is often recognized as a time to honor not only Washington but also Abraham Lincoln and other presidents.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On Washington's Birthday, people in the United States engage in various activities to commemorate the legacy of George Washington and other U.S. presidents. The holiday has evolved to include a broader celebration of presidential leadership in American history. Here are five common ways to celebrate:
– Educational Activities: Many schools and educational institutions use the week of Washington's Birthday to teach students about the accomplishments and contributions of George Washington and other presidents. Lessons often focus on their roles in shaping the nation's history.
– Displaying the Flag: It's common to see the American flag displayed on public buildings and private residences as a sign of patriotism and respect for the presidency.
– Visits to Historic Sites: People often visit historic sites associated with George Washington and other presidents. Places like Washington's home in Virginia, the Lincoln Memorial, and other presidential museums are popular destinations.
– Patriotic and Historical Celebrations: Some communities hold special events and activities that include parades and ceremonies. These events often feature readings of Washington's notable speeches by American presidents.
– Family Gatherings: Since it's a federal holiday, many people have the day off work and school, providing an opportunity for family gatherings and leisure activities.
While the observance of Washington's Birthday varies across different regions and communities, these activities collectively contribute to a day of remembrance and celebration of American leadership and history.
Who was George Washington?
George Washington (1732–1799) was a pivotal figure in American history, best known for his roles as a Founding Father of the United States, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and the first President of the United States.
Washington was born into a Virginia planter family in 1732. He began his career as a surveyor and later served in the Virginia militia during the French and Indian War, gaining early military experience.
Washington's leadership during the American Revolution was crucial. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in 1775. Despite facing numerous challenges, including limited resources and a nascent army, Washington managed to lead his forces to key victories, most notably at the Battle of Trenton and the decisive victory at Yorktown in 1781.
After the war, Washington played a significant role in the framing of the U.S. Constitution and was unanimously elected as the first President of the United States in 1789. He set many precedents during his presidency, including the formation of a Cabinet and the policy of serving only two terms. George Washington is celebrated as a symbol of American values and democracy, and is often referred to as the "Father of His Country."
After serving two terms as president, Washington retired to his plantation, Mount Vernon, in Virginia, where he passed away in 1799. Mount Vernon has since become a historic site, preserving Washington's legacy and life story.

She remained active and was on the National Board of the NAACP until 1970. Daisy Bates died of a heart attack in Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, on November 4, 1999. A state holiday was named in her honor on the third Monday in February of every year, which is the same day as Washington's Birthday.
Who was Daisy Gatson Bates?
Daisy Gatson Bates (1914–1999) was an American civil rights activist, journalist, and publisher. She played a crucial role in the desegregation of schools in the United States, particularly during the Little Rock Crisis of 1957.
Bates was born in Huttig, Arkansas, and she grew up in a racially segregated society. In 1941, she married L.C. Bates, and the couple became involved in civil rights activism. They operated a newspaper called the Arkansas State Press, which focused on issues of civil rights and the African American community.
Daisy Gatson Bates became a prominent figure during the Little Rock Crisis when nine African American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," attempted to enroll in the previously all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 had declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, but the resistance to integration was strong.
As president of the Arkansas NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), Bates played a pivotal role in supporting and guiding the Little Rock Nine through the challenges they faced. She and her husband faced significant personal risks, including threats and economic hardships, due to their involvement in the civil rights movement.

The History of Thomas Jefferson's Birthday?
The celebration of Thomas Jefferson's Birthday has a history rooted in recognizing his contributions as a Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and the third President of the United States.
Even during his lifetime, Thomas Jefferson was celebrated for his role in shaping the United States. His authorship of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and his presidency (1801–1809) made his birthday an occasion to honor his leadership, intellect, and vision for liberty.
Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This poignant event solidified his place in American memory and increased public interest in commemorating his achievements, including his birthday.
Jefferson's birthday, April 13, became an unofficial day of remembrance in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Virginia and among historians and civic groups. ome states, like Virginia and Alabama, formally observed April 13 as Thomas Jefferson's Birthday, honoring his contributions to American independence.
In 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act moved many holidays to Mondays to create long weekends. George Washington's Birthday, celebrated on February 22, was shifted to the third Monday in February and widely rebranded as Presidents' Day. Over time, this day came to honor not only Washington but also other presidents, including Jefferson.
As part of this shift, many states discontinued celebrating Thomas Jefferson's Birthday as a standalone holiday. States like Alabama eventually merged the commemoration of Jefferson with Presidents' Day.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On Thomas Jefferson's Birthday, people engage in a variety of activities to honor and reflect on his legacy.
Historical societies, universities, and public institutions host lectures and discussions about Jefferson's contributions to American history, politics, education, and architecture. Many schools incorporate lessons about Jefferson's life, including his role in drafting the Declaration of Independence, his presidency, and his founding of the University of Virginia.
Events at historical sites often include the laying of wreaths at Jefferson monuments or statues, particularly in Virginia and Washington, D.C. Local events, especially in Virginia, include parades, public readings, and discussions celebrating Jefferson's influence on the state and the nation.
Many people take the opportunity to read Jefferson's works, including his letters, writings on governance, and the Declaration of Independence. Individuals and families may visit Jefferson-related landmarks such as Monticello, the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., or the University of Virginia.
Who is Thomas Jefferson?
Thomas Jefferson was one of the most influential figures in American history. As a Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and the third President of the United States (1801–1809), Jefferson's legacy is central to the formation of the nation.
Born in Shadwell, Virginia on April 13, 1743, Jefferson grew up in a wealthy plantation family. He studied law at the College of William & Mary and developed a lifelong passion for learning, especially in science, history, and philosophy. Jefferson practiced law and became involved in Virginia's colonial legislature, where he advocated for the American colonies' rights.
Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, articulating the American colonies' desire for freedom from British rule. The document's ideals of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" became foundational to American identity.
He served as the Governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781, and the U.S. Minister to France from 1785 to 1789, where he strengthened Franco-American relations and observed the early stages of the French Revolution. Under President George Washington, Jefferson was the first Secretary of State, focusing on foreign policy and opposing Federalist policies led by Alexander Hamilton.
Jefferson served as third President of the United States from 1801 to 1809, and one of his major achievements was the Louisiana Purchase (1803), which doubled the size of the United States.
In 1819, Jefferson designed and founded the University of Virginia, reflecting his belief in public education as essential to democracy, which was considered as one of his greatest achievements.
Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, on the same day as John Adams, the second President of the United States.

The History of Louis Riel Day?
Louis Riel Day was first observed on February 18, 2008, making it the newest statutory holiday in Manitoba. The holiday was introduced by the Manitoba NDP government under Premier Gary Doer. It was created to align with mid-winter holidays in other provinces, like Family Day, while uniquely reflecting Manitoba's history and culture.
A public consultation process allowed Manitobans to suggest a name for the holiday. Several options were proposed, but Louis Riel Day was chosen to commemorate the province's founder and highlight the significant role of Métis culture in Manitoba's identity.
Louis Riel played a key role in Manitoba's entry into Confederation in 1870 through the Red River Resistance, ensuring Métis rights and cultural preservation were recognized. Riel fought for the recognition of Métis land rights, language and culture.
Despite being executed for treason in 1885 after leading the North-West Resistance, Riel is now celebrated as a defender of minority rights and a national hero. Naming the holiday after Riel symbolizes reconciliation and recognition of Métis contributions to Manitoba and Canada.

What Do People Do on This Day?
On Louis Riel Day, people in Manitoba engage in various activities to honor Louis Riel's legacy, celebrate Métis culture and enjoy a mid-winter break with family and friends.
People celebrate the holiday with Métis music performances, including traditional fiddle playing and jigging (a lively dance style). It is also popular for the storytelling sessions sharing Métis legends and the history of Louis Riel.
Community centers and schools host workshops on Métis crafts, beadwork and cultural traditions. Schools use the day to teach students about Louis Riel's contributions to Manitoba and Canada, often through storytelling, documentaries or art projects.
The Riel House, located in Winnipeg, offers educational programs about Louis Riel and the Métis people. Many people may visit the grave of Louis Riel in St. Boniface, where he is buried.
Some Manitobans dedicate the day to community service, helping at food banks or participating in events that foster community spirit.
For many, Louis Riel Day is an opportunity to spend time with family playing board games, sharing meals or enjoying winter fun outdoors. Some may visit local attractions or stay home for a cozy day off.
More about Louis Riel
Riel was born on October 22, 1844, in the Red River Settlement (now Winnipeg, Manitoba). He was of Métis descent, a community of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry. He was sent to Montreal to study for the priesthood but did not complete his studies. He returned to the Red River Settlement in 1868.
When the Canadian government purchased Rupert's Land from the Hudson's Bay Company without consulting its Indigenous and Métis inhabitants, tensions arose over land rights and cultural autonomy. Riel led the Métis in the Red River Resistance, establishing a provisional government to negotiate Manitoba's entry into Confederation. The resulting Manitoba Act (1870) ensured Métis rights to their land, recognized their culture and established Manitoba as Canada's fifth province.
In 1885, Riel returned from exile to lead the Métis in Saskatchewan, who were facing similar threats to their land and culture. The resistance ended with the Battle of Batoche, where federal troops defeated the Métis. Riel was arrested and tried for treason. Despite his defense that he acted to protect his people, he was convicted and executed on November 16, 1885, in Regina.
Riel is celebrated as the "Father of Manitoba" for his role in the province's creation and his advocacy for Métis inclusion in Confederation.

The History of Father Lini Day?
Father Lini was born in 1942, Pentecost Island, New Hebrides (now Vanuatu), and died on February 21, 1999. He was an Anglican priest, politician and nationalist leader who played a central role in Vanuatu's peaceful transition to independence from joint British and French colonial rule.
Lini co-founded the Vanua'aku Pati, a political party that pushed for decolonization and self-determination. He led the movement that culminated in Vanuatu's independence on July 30, 1980, ending the Anglo-French Condominium. Upon independence, Lini became Vanuatu's first Prime Minister, a position he held until 1991.
Lini promoted a unique ideology known as "Melanesian socialism" — a blend of traditional community values, Christian ethics, and self-reliance. He was a strong advocate for nuclear-free Pacific policies, decolonization in neighboring countries, and regional unity among Melanesian nations.
Lini saw political leadership as a spiritual calling, and his identity as a priest-politician influenced his calm, moral-centered leadership style.
Father Lini passed away on February 21, 1999. Recognizing his contributions, the Vanuatu government declared February 21 as "Father Lini Day", making it a national public holiday. He is remembered as a unifying figure, whose leadership shaped the foundations of the modern Vanuatuan state.
