Honoring Indigenous Peoples Day / Columbus Day — October 12
On October 12, our school community recognizes Indigenous Peoples Day / Columbus Day as an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s history, honor the diverse cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples, and learn from the history of the land and communities we call home.
Our district is fortunate to have strong ties with local tribal communities and a meaningful partnership with the Yakama Nation. Through this partnership, our students have opportunities to learn about Native American heritage, traditions, history, and the enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples in our region.
We are grateful for the knowledge, perspectives, and cultural learning shared with our students and staff. These connections help us foster greater understanding and respect for the rich history and living cultures of the Indigenous communities who have called this region home since time immemorial.
This October 12, we invite our community to reflect, learn, and recognize the important place Indigenous history and heritage hold in our shared community.
