Today on Indigenous Peoples Day, LatinoLEAD honors the rich histories, vibrant cultures, inherent sovereignty, and enduring contributions of Native Nations across Mni Sota Makoce ( ) and Turtle Island.

As a Latine organization, we celebrate our deep, interconnected roots with Indigenous communities and express our profound gratitude to the Dakota, Ojibwe, and Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands for generations.

Today and every day, we reaffirm our commitment to community leadership and building solidarity together.
