Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which is Oct 12, has become a vital part of the Lawrence Community. Currently 11 states, 3 territories, 7 counties, 135 cities,, and 14 college campuses officially recognize and celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day. So too has Lawrence benefited from the diligence and hard work of LUNA (Lawrence University Native Americans) students to produce a wonderful celebration of for Indigenous Peoples’ Day every year, creating a space not only of education, but also of community. This year due to COVID-19 we will be moving our celebration online in the form of a video about Indigenous Peoples’ Day and it’s importance. Please celebrate with us by watching our Indigenous Peoples’ Day video which can be found on the Diversity and Intercultural Center’s Upcoming Virtual Events page at this link: https://www.lawrence.edu/students/diversity/events- on Monday. We ask that when viewing the video please dedicate the few minutes to fully enjoying the video and celebrating with us.
