Indigenous People’s Day

Date, Time, Location: October 12, 11:30-12:30, Student Life Kiosk

Stop by the Student Life Kiosk to learn more about why we now honor Indigenous People’s Day rather than Columbus Day. Celebrated annually on the second Monday in October, this date celebrates the traditions, history, cultures and continued perspectives of Indigenous people. Minnesota has officially recognized Indigenous People’s Day since 2023.

Other ways to learn more:

  • The Native Land Interactive Map is both an invitation and a challenge to learn more about the lands you inhabit and the history of those lands. The website also provides links to local tribes, resources, and treaty information.
  • LSC’s Erickson Library has many books on Native and Indigenous culture, including several of local author Linda LeGarde Grover’s books. Check out sections E77, E78 , E90, the Minnesota Section, or ask Library staff for help locating other materials.
