Expressing support for the designation of the second Monday in October 2025 as "Indigenous Peoples' Day" to celebrate and honor Indigenous Peoples and their shared history and culture.

Sponsored By: Representative Torres, Norma J. [D-CA-35]

Introduced

Summary

Designating the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples' Day would push federal recognition of Indigenous history and cultural contributions. The resolution notes that more than 200 municipalities and 17 states already observe that day and emphasizes that Indigenous Peoples lived and flourished in these lands for thousands of years before Western contact. It acknowledges harms from Western contact, including suppression, forced assimilation, and genocide, encourages people to observe the day with ceremonies and educational activities, and expresses support for making it a Federal holiday.
