Indigenous Peoples' Day

Indigenous Peoples Day takes place as an alternative to Columbus Day and changes a celebration of brutal colonialism into an opportunity to reveal the truth of the genocide and oppression of indigenous peoples in the Americas, to organize against current injustices, and to celebrate indigenous resistance.

Join local community members for short presentations and films on contemporary indigenous struggle, including the Unist'ot'en battle with Chevron and the Lax Kw’alaams occupation of Lelu Island in the territory currently claimed as British Columbia.
