National Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Honoring History and Culture 🌿

Significance
National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, is a day to honor the rich histories, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Indigenous communities across the U.S. and beyond. This day shifts the focus from colonial narratives to recognizing the resilience, wisdom, and cultural legacies of Native American, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

Why It Matters
In the workplace, recognizing National Indigenous Peoples’ Day fosters an inclusive environment that respects and values diverse cultural identities. For Indigenous employees, this day provides an opportunity to share their heritage and experiences. For non-Indigenous colleagues, it’s a chance to learn, engage, and support Indigenous rights and cultural preservation.

Celebration Idea
💡 Host a cultural workshop with an Indigenous speaker or partner with a local Indigenous organization to educate employees about Indigenous history and current issues.
