At KCCU, we believe in celebrating diversity and inclusion within our community. One way we do this is by honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day, a day that reflects on the rich history, culture, and contributions of Indigenous communities across North America. Observed on the second Monday in October, this day offers a critical opportunity to recognize the past, while uplifting and supporting the resilience of Indigenous peoples today.
A Day of Reflection and Respect
For generations, Indigenous peoples have played an essential role in shaping the cultural, environmental, and societal landscapes of our world. However, this history has often been overlooked or marginalized in favor of narratives that omit or distort the Indigenous experience. Indigenous Peoples' Day allows us to reflect on the true history of these communities, acknowledging their contributions as well as the injustices they have faced.
Supporting Indigenous Communities Today
Indigenous Peoples' Day is not just about reflection—it's also about action. By supporting Indigenous businesses, advocating for policy changes that protect Indigenous lands and rights, and fostering education on these issues, we can help build a more just and equitable future. KCCU encourages our members to take this day to learn more, participate in local events, and find ways to support Indigenous communities.
Why It Matters to KCCU
At KCCU, our mission is to serve and support all communities, recognizing that diversity strengthens our shared experience. Indigenous Peoples' Day aligns with our commitment to equality, respect, and social responsibility. We believe that by acknowledging and honoring Indigenous histories and cultures, we contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society for everyone.
This Indigenous Peoples' Day, we invite you to join us in honoring the strength, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. Let’s take this time to reflect, learn, and celebrate together.
