Today, on Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the generations of Indigenous people whose knowledge, craftsmanship, labor, and innovation.

From longstanding traditions of building and working with the land to the Indigenous professionals contributing across today’s workforce, we recognize and celebrate an impact that continues to shape America’s past, present, and future.

Some pieces of history carry stories that should never be forgotten. The flag preserved at the CSC once flew inside a command center at Ground Zero, where countless individuals came together in the aftermath of September 11, including building trades workers who answered the call to help. Today, we honor every life lost, every person forever impacted, and every worker and first responder who stepped forward when they were needed most.
