“Indigenous Peoples’ Day is an observance that honors the histories, cultures, resilience, and continued presence of Indigenous peoples. Rather than focusing only on the past, it recognizes Native communities as living cultures that continue to shape and strengthen society today. ...It encourages a more accurate understanding of Native American history, including both the harms caused by European colonization and the ongoing contributions of Indigenous communities.” - quote from https://indianyouth.org/indigenous-peoples-day/

Language is more than just words—it carries culture, history, and community identity.

Ahead of Indigenous Peoples' Day tomorrow, take time to celebrate, protect, and connect with heritage through Transparent Language Online. Created in partnership with local communities around the world, this resource features over 40 Indigenous and endangered language courses—including Cherokee, Cree, and Ojibwe—designed to help preserve vital voices, cultures, and traditions.

Whether you want to connect with your roots or expand your horizons, your library card gives you free, unlimited access to courses in these Indigenous heritages alongside 140+ world languages, American Sign Language (ASL), and English learning.

Log in on your computer or download the mobile app to start learning anytime, anywhere: https://library.transparent.com/fourcountylibsys
