Awards are given to Aboriginal achievers in professional fields and are aimed at raising native self-esteem by presenting powerful role models.
The awards are conferred at a gala award ceremony, where 14 achievers of First Nations, Inuit and Métes ancestry are recognized for their career contributions. The awards ceremony is subsequently televised as a CBC national network special. The awards show features video vignettes of the achievers and entertainment by the top performers in the Aboriginal communities.
