While every day is a good day to be Indigenous, each year on the second Monday of October, the United States celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day.
The holiday honors and celebrates the histories, cultures and traditions of the first people of this land.
In 2023, President Biden issued a Presidential Proclamation celebrating the day, stating in part, “On Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the perseverance and courage of Indigenous peoples, show our gratitude for the myriad contributions they have made to our world, and renew our commitment to respect Tribal sovereignty and self-determination.”
Leading up to Oct. 14 and on the day of, events are being held throughout the country. Here you will find a running list of events that will continue to be updated leading up to Indigenous Peoples Day 2024.
If you want to add your event to the list, send an email to Kolby KickingWoman at kolby@ictnews.org with “Indigenous Peoples Day event 2024” in the subject line.

About the film: Literally with each passing day, the community of Newtok, Alaska, is losing feet of shoreline as sea level rise erodes away the shores and homes of the town. As the seawater rises, it also intrudes into the community’s freshwater drinking supply. Determined to hold on, the residents relocate upriver and challenge the federal government to do its duty in protecting the community. A discussion panel will follow the film. Free and open to all. Pre-registration required.
