Indigenous Peoples’ Day is celebrated on the second Monday of October, on October 10 this year, to honor the cultures and histories of the Native American people.
The day is centered around reflecting on their tribal roots and the tragic stories that hurt but strengthened their communities.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebrates, recognizes, and honors the beautiful traditions and cultures of the Indigenous People, not just in America but worldwide.
Their way of life and culture carries wisdom and valuable insights into how we can live life more sustainably.
