To all who acknowledge and honor today as Indigenous People's Day 2026, we commend you as we celebrate today.
We hope that all the efforts and events bring about awareness and support within Native communities!
A bit of history into the origin of Indigenous People's Day as told by Britannica: The idea of replacing Columbus Day with a holiday honoring Indigenous peoples was proposed in 1977 at the United Nations International NGO (nongovernmental organization) Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas. More than a decade later South Dakota became the first state to replace Columbus Day, celebrating Native Americans’ Day in 1990. Berkeley, California, was the first city to make a change, adopting Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 1992.
Please take care of our Mother Earth, leave a healthy home for our future generations and all that is Indigenous to this land. WE ARE STILL HERE!
