Native American Day 

Learn about the rich cultures of Native American tribes in your area. Support modern tribes by educating others, buying goods, and participating in events.

Native Americans have been a part of the American tradition even before the United States began. However, due to hundreds of years of persecution, much isn’t left of the neighboring tribes and many have integrated into modern society.

Those still in touch with their culture, however, will remember these events and want people to remember it. Native American Day is a holiday aimed at changing the way people view Native Americans.

Learn about Native American Day

As the name indicates, Native American Day pays honor to Native Americans. They are thought to be the first Americans to populate and live in the United States. North Americans had populated the entire North American continent before the first explorers and settlers from Europe came. This was all of the way from the Pacific to the Atlantic, as well as from the northern reaches of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. It goes without saying that Native Americans play a huge part in the history of the United States, and so it is only right that there is a date to honor them.

This is a day that is celebrated across the United States. It can be celebrated on different dates depending on where in the United States you are based, so it is worth keeping this in mind. For example, in Wisconsin and South Dakota, it falls on the second Monday in October.

However, in Nevada and California, the date is celebrated on the fourth Friday in September. No matter where it is celebrated, though, it is all about paying honor to Native American communities and the cultural contributions they have made to the history of each state and the country as a whole.

The observance of Native American Day focuses on a celebration of the history, heritage, and culture of tribes across the United State. Each diverse nation has its own beliefs, rituals, and traditions. This day is about celebrating the enriching heritage, contributions, and knowledge of Native Americans.

It also serves as a great reminder of their enduring legacy of fortitude, energy, and strength. I think most people would agree that we do not always take enough time to sit back and reflect on what our ancestors have contributed to the world that we live in.

History of Native American Day

Native Americans were around long before the Europeans decided to colonize and take over the wild forests and plains of the United States. But while many people consider the Native Americans to be a long-forgotten tradition, Native Americans have a steep root in culture and history that has been cultivating for thousands of years.

From the Inuit tribes of Alaska, the Seneca nations of the Northeast, the Cherokees of the South, to the Navajo of the Southwest, Native Americans exist everywhere with different cultural traditions and hundreds of dialects in their languages. By the time Europeans traveled to America during the 15ht century, over 50 million Native Americans lived throughout the continent.

Native American Day is about appreciating the long history of culture and traditions that Native Americans have preserved throughout time. The holiday is celebrated in states such as South Dakota and California. Native American Day was originally called “American Indian Day” when Govoner Ronald Reagan signed a resolution calling for a change in 1968.

Native American Day was officially declared a state holiday in 1998, and South Dakota proclaimed the year 1990 as a year of reconciliation between Native Americans and Caucasian populations, eventually changing Colombus Day to Native American Day. People celebrate this holiday by learning about the different kinds of tribes and cultures that persisted among all odds during what many Natives consider as their genocide.

How to celebrate Native American Day

Honor Native American cultures by learning about the tribes of your local area. Be respectful of their traditions and take the time to learn of their history. If you stand against the holiday Colombus Day, petition your congressman to change the celebration of that holiday for your state.

Help educate people about the cultures and traditions of the Native Americans by sharing this information with others. Advocate and support the Native Americans in their expression of their culture and help protect their rights by standing with them as an ally.

We would recommend taking a look at the events that are happening in your local area to see whether there is anything that you can join in with. As mentioned, there are differences in terms of events and celebrations depending on where in the United States you are based. For example, let’s start by taking a look at South Dakota. In South Dakota, the day is celebrated by using educational resources to focus on the background, culture, and traditions of Native Americans. It is about sharing many aspects of native culture, whether you are a native or not.

There are also a lot of celebrations that occur throughout different parts of California. In Berkeley, for instance, there are some churches, community groups, and organizations that will support Native American Day by carrying out activities that are focused on raising awareness about the traditions, culture, and history of the indigenous people in the U.S. Some of the cultural activities include the likes of pow wows and markets. Pow wows, for those who are unaware, are gatherings of indigenous people from North America. In modern times, these get-togethers involve celebrating Native American culture, socializing, singing, and dancing.

Indigenous People Day A Poem by Lorenakoran 10/10/2022 May we remember this “Columbus day” for the horror that happened and not run away but declare the truth and steadfast stay rather than hide it or white wash it away While it may have been our forefathers that killed, enslaved, and maimed our lack of action is as if we are the same  Indigenous People Day won’t take the past…

THIS THANKSGIVING

five things white folks can do instead of celebrating a genocidal, settler holiday.

1. pay your settler taxes to indigenous land trusts.

2. Relearn your own ancestral holidays, pre whiteness, that center community, gratitude, wellness, and sustainability.

3. Honor the people and the land by committing to a no waste holiday season. Boycott black friday and only spend money at small black and native owned businesses.

4. support native food sovereignty and seed saving movements with time and money.

5. Pay bail for indigenous and black people held captive by the state during the holidays.

you can help us! you can make a difference. it doesn't have to take up much time. please, help spread the word.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. Go do something nice for yourself right now. Right this minute. You deserve it. <3

MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) is a human rights crisis of violence against Indigenous women in Canada and the United States

Quick facts:

4 of 5 Native women will experience violence

1/3 of Native women will experience sexual violence (and over 2/3 of that is committed by non-natives)

Murder is our 3rd leading cause of death

On some reservations MMIWG2S are murdered at 10x the national average rate

In general native women and girls are raped at twice the average national rate

According to a report by USA today, native women also go missing at the twice average national rate

Nearly all rapes are perpetuated by off reservations settlers who also face no legal repercussions (legal loopholes state you must be on tribal ground to be persecuted by tribal police and most don't stick sround)

Less than 1% of MMIW cases are logged

It's been awhile since I've since Ive posted about this, but it's a very important topic and one that's especially important to me right now.

Some of you following me have all the context clues but I'll say it plainly here on this post. My cousin is one of the many MMIW that have died awful deaths. I myself am one of the natives who've experiences violence and sexual violence. The article is right. I don't know a native who hasn't. And that shouldn't have to be our reality.

But it doesn't change without more support and we don't get support by keeping people in the dark. Unfortunately resources are directly tied to public interest in an issue. The actual MMIW site for example says it's on hiatus when you go to the resource section.

So please share this so that someone else can learn and become an ally to the cause. The way people treat native women, girls, and two spirits is awful and deserves more attention than it's getting.

May 5th is MMIW awareness day; please wear red, share our posts, schedule a vigil, make your own graphics/posts in support, etc. Make some time to show you care that day.

Just don't use the red hand over your mouth, this is representative of the violent silence MMIW are forced to keep in their graves and how those of us alive must speak for them. Its a heavy symbol that carries responsibility so it's best left alone if you aren't indigenous.
