Greetings!
Today, on Indigenous Peoples' Day, I want to take a moment to honor the Native American peoples and their histories. From its earliest days, NYC has benefited from the rich cultures of the Lenape & other Native Americans. It is essential that we all take the time to learn about and recognize the peoples whose land we inhabit.
We must also acknowledge that Native American communities also continue to face their own unique hardships. Native women and girls endure disproportionately higher rates of violence, and their disappearances and murders often go unsolved. And now, the coronavirus pandemic is once again highlighting the disparities in access to public health resources and outcomes for Native American communities.
Although many in-person events and festivities are canceled this year, we can still celebrate our Native American friends and neighbors by learning more about their exciting culture, honoring their rich history, raising awareness of their unique struggles, and committing ourselves to a more intersectional future.
Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day 2020!
