Greetings, IPD Philly community!
Happy Fall from Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly, Inc!
For many Indigenous Peoples in the Northern Hemisphere, fall symbolizes a time for harvest, abundance, and reflection on the cycles of life and death as many relatives prepare for winter. With this in mind, we at IPD Philly want to thank you for joining us on this journey of renewal and contemplation.
We are thrilled to share our Fall Newsletter with you!
In this edition, we delve into the vital connections between climate change and immigration through Indigenous lenses, particularly in light of the increasingly hostile political climate in the United States. Our focus is on the detrimental impact of colonial borders on Indigenous Peoples throughout Turtle Island.
We spotlight organizations that are at the forefront of immigration issues and provide educational resources that explore the historical and contemporary implications of colonial borders and Indigenous erasure.
Our featured books include a graphic novel, a children’s book, and an illustrative, bilingual folktale, all of which offer insights into the complex stories of Indigenous Peoples living along and across the Mexico-U.S. and Canada-U.S. borders.
Furthermore, we are proud to announce that, regardless of the weather and political backlash, we stood strong! We celebrated the 9th annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day at Shackamaxon (Penn Treaty Park) and launched our campaign to permanently reinstate Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the second Monday of every October.
Join the revolution of the heart! ❤️🔥
