We celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day on the 2nd Monday of October, as an alternative to Columbus Day. It is one of many days that aims to celebrate Indigenous populations and Tribal Nations across the United States. To learn more about the origins of Indigenous Peoples' Day, gain an Indigenous perspective, understand the connection to the Jesuit Schools Network, see the resources below.
