Indigenous People’s Day

Indigenous Peoples Day is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October. It is an opportunity for you and your community to celebrate and honor Indigenous people throughout the United States. Today highlights Indigenous peoples’ strength, resiliency, and invaluable contributions.

At the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Epidemiology Center (GLITEC), tribal people are honored today and every day to serve the 34 federally recognized Tribes, four urban Indian communities, and three Indian Health Service (IHS) service units within the Bemidji IHS Area (Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Chicago). Our mission is to support Tribal communities in their efforts to improve health.

Please take a moment to check out the great work of the GLITEC by following the link above and grow in understanding about tribal communities near you.

HOPE and HEALING – Mending Broken Hearts and The Medicine Wheel are two great programs offered to tribal communities (and allies). Find out more about how these programs can be hosted in your local community. Contact GL ROTA-RC
