Indigenous Peoples Day
Denise Shreve

Monday, October 12 is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This holiday celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories, cultures, and teachings.

We honor America’s first inhabitants and the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today. Indigenous People's Day is also an opportunity to reflect on historical injustices against Indigenous communities and ongoing inequities.

We invite you to participate in activities that promote understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures. Together, let’s foster a community that values diversity and inclusivity.
