Native American Day & Indigenous People Day

Native American Day or Indigenous People’s Day is celebrated on October 12 to honor the resistance and survival of North American Indigenous people. The second Monday of October usually marks Columbus Day in most parts the United States but not all states or regions follow this observance. In South Dakota people celebrate Native Americans’ Day through traditions and education of Native Americans. In Berkeley, California, organizations, community groups and churches support the day through awareness-raising activities about the history, culture, and traditions of indigenous peoples of the United States.
