Indigenous Peoples’ Day: October 14, 2024

Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2024 marks the fifth anniversary of this holiday being recognized by law in the State of Maine! 

In anticipation of this important milestone, the Wabanaki Alliance prepared a series of videos in the week leading up to October 14, sharing thoughts and reflections from a number of Wabanaki people, all on the question “What does Indigenous Peoples’ Day mean to you?”
