Indigenous People's Day is a new holiday that is being observed instead of Columbus Day around the United States and the World, as part of the movement to take down statues of confederate leaders and to tell a more accurate history. Here in the Berkshires, the non-profit organization, Alliance for a Viable Future is organizing an Indigenous People's Day Walk in Great Barrington, on October 11th, as well as organize a Climate Resilience Workshop Series with a coalition of organizations who are dedicated to the deep connection between indigenous rights and climate resilience. To learn more visit www.allianceforaviablefuture.org, look under the projects tab, sign up for their newsletter for updates, and mark you calendar for Monday, October 11th to observe Indigenous People's Day with your community in Berkshires.
