Indigenous Nurses Day is April 10, which is the birthdate of Edith Anderson Monture, a Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) woman and the first First Nations woman to become a registered nurse in Canada.

The day acknowledges the significant contributions of First Nation, Métis and Inuit nurses to health and wellness in the nursing profession.
