Today, we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a time to honor the history, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities. In 2021, President Joe Biden issued the first presidential proclamation specifically recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day, acknowledging the resilience of Native communities, their enduring contributions, and the importance of respecting Tribal sovereignty. Read the original proclamation here.
It’s also an opportunity to reflect on our shared history, including the harms and injustices Indigenous communities have faced and continue to navigate today. It’s a chance to listen to Native voices, learn from Indigenous communities, and recognize the cultures and traditions that continue to thrive.
We hope you’ll take a little time today to learn, reflect, and listen. We’ll see you all tomorrow for more from The View!
