Indigenous Persons Day Gains

What’s happening? Add Dallas to the growing list of cities celebrating Indigenous Peoples on October 11th.

Why is this important? The  Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas and the Red Handed Warrior Society members also moved Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Dallas County, and Corpus Christi to adopt Indigenous Peoples Day on Oct. 11th. The State of Texas is honoring Indigenous Peoples Day this year.

How will this be important? The growing social justice movements and consciousness that emerged from the pandemic is shining light on historical perspectives.
