October 10th - Indigenous Peoples' Day
Indigenous Peoples Day is an important day worth recognition and thoughtful reflection. It is a day to celebrate the impact, sovereignty and resilience of Indigenous peoples and to be intentional about expanding our cultural competence and historical knowledge.
Did you know:
--The Indigenous people here today are ancestral survivors of genocide, stolen land, forced assimilation and US government led cultural extinction.
-Native American religion and spirituality was illegal and banned by the US Government until 1978
-Minnesota is home to 11 Tribal Nations made up of 7 Anishinaabe (Chippewa, Ojibwe) and 4 Dakota (Sioux) Tribes.
-Archeologists and historians believe Indigenous people have lived in Minnesota since the glaciers receded 13,000 years ago
Next week our Stowe students will be learning about Native Culture in their classrooms. Some the activities include: history, wild rice, beadwork, dreamcatchers, basket making, simulated canoes (birchbark), and a variety of other learning opportunities.
