What Is Indigenous Peoples' Day?
Indigenous Peoples' Day, observed on the second Monday of October, celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories and cultures. The day counters the narrative of colonization with recognition of Indigenous resilience, contributions to society, and the ongoing presence of thriving Native communities.
The day encourages learning about Indigenous histories, supporting Native-led initiatives, acknowledging the lands we occupy, and recognizing the significant contributions Indigenous peoples have made to art, science, governance, environmental stewardship, and countless other fields. It is about honoring the past, supporting the present, and building a more just future.
