Today, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day—a day to honor the history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities across the Americas. It is a time to recognize the invaluable contributions and rich cultural heritage of the original inhabitants of this land, whose stories, traditions, and wisdom have shaped the very fabric of our society. Celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day also serves as a powerful rejection of the glorification of Christopher Columbus, a figure whose legacy is marred by violence, enslavement, and the initiation of colonization that devastated countless Indigenous lives and cultures. For too long, the narrative surrounding Columbus has perpetuated myths of discovery while erasing the painful truths about his actions and the catastrophic impact they had on Native populations. By refusing to acknowledge Columbus Day, we resist the whitewashing of history that ignores the brutal realities of colonization: the exploitation, forced conversion, disease, and genocide faced by Indigenous peoples. Honoring Columbus perpetuates a narrative of conquest that dismisses the humanity and agency of those who were already here. It is time to embrace a more honest and inclusive account of history—one that acknowledges the harm inflicted and uplifts the voices that have long been silenced. Indigenous Peoples’ Day invites us to reflect on our shared history, confront uncomfortable truths, and commit to a future that prioritizes justice, equity, and respect for Indigenous rights. It is not just a day of remembrance, but also a call to action—to support Indigenous communities, advocate for their rights, and recognize the enduring strength of their cultures. Let today be a celebration of Indigenous resilience and a rejection of the glorification of a legacy built on the oppression of others. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #HonorNativeHistory #RejectColumbusDay #CelebrateIndigenousCulture #DecolonizeHistory #IndigenousResistance #TruthAndReconciliation #UpliftNativeVoices #IndigenousRights #NativePride #LandBack #ResilienceAndResistance

Indigenous Peoples Day is a holiday celebrating and honoring the culture, history, and contributions of Indigenous peoples in the Americas. It is observed on the second Monday in October, coinciding with Columbus Day, which has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1937. The movement to establish Indigenous Peoples Day began in the late 20th century as a response to the celebration of Columbus, whose voyages are often associated with the colonization and oppression of Native American communities. Advocates for Indigenous Peoples Day seek to acknowledge the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Indigenous populations and promote awareness of their cultures and rights. The first official observance of Indigenous Peoples Day took place in 1990, when the state of South Dakota recognized it. Since then, numerous states, cities, and institutions across the U.S. have adopted Indigenous Peoples Day as an alternative to or in addition to Columbus Day. The day serves as an opportunity for education, reflection, and advocacy for Indigenous rights and sovereignty. Advocates emphasize the importance of recognizing the rich histories and diverse cultures of Indigenous peoples, as well as the need for reconciliation and healing from the impacts of colonization. ? Today, we should take a moment to honor and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across our nation. Indigenous Peoples’ Day reminds us to recognize the deep and enduring connections Native communities have to the land and their profound contributions to our society, past and present. ? #IndigenousPeoplesDay #CelebrateDiversity #SupportIndigenousRights #OneGlobalTeam #MBE #WBE #RKMC

There have been numerous ways to celebrate local Indigenous history for decades, but in 2021, Indigenous People’s Day was finally formally recognized by presidential proclamation as a way to “honor America’s first inhabitants and the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today.” Indigenous People’s Day is observed on the second Monday in October, the same day as Columbus Day, a federal holiday that was established decades ago, to recognize both Indigenous history, local historical sites related to Indigenous history, and the challenges Indigenous people have faced and are still facing today. In 2024, Indigenous People’s Day is on October 14th. How is Indigenous People’s Day celebrated? Indigenous People’s Day is the time to recognize the painful history Indigenous people have faced in what is now the United States and to celebrate local Indigenous history and important sites. It is also a day of peaceful protest and resistance in the face of Columbus, for the return of Indigenous lands, and to honor the many missing and killed Indigenous people. While this day brings a mix of emotions, both joy and sadness, happiness and anger, there is a cause to celebrate local Indigenous history. Many people use native food, musical and dance performances, art, and traditional ceremonies to commemorate Indigenous People’s Day, and you can participate as well. From rallies to feasts, there will be events happening at museums and local historical sites related to Indigenous history across the country on the weekend of October 14, 2024. You can choose to celebrate on a lake or river, too, because there are ways to diversify the water by breaking down barriers in fishing and boating.

As we commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, I reflect on the intertwining of histories, both as a Jewish person and an ally of the Hispanic-Latino community. The deep-rooted connection between Jewish and Hispanic-Latino communities spans centuries, from the Iberian Peninsula to Latin America. Historical ties date back to the vibrant cultural life of Spain and Portugal, where Jews coexisted with Christians and Muslims. Following their expulsion, Jewish communities found new homes in Mexico, Brazil, and Peru in the 16th and 17th centuries, contributing as traders, diplomats, and pioneers. In later centuries, Jewish migration to Latin America surged, driven by persecution and the aftermath of the Holocaust. Argentina now hosts a significant Jewish population, while Mexico's community has influenced the nation's culture and politics, recently celebrating the election of its first female Jewish president. The fusion of Jewish and Latino traditions has created a rich cultural tapestry, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of both groups. By honoring our shared past and contributions, we celebrate the enduring respect and collaboration between Jewish and Hispanic-Latino communities.
