Happy Winter from Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly, Inc!
The Winter holds great significance for many Indigenous cultures in the Northern Hemisphere, serving as a time for ceremony and reflection, representing rebirth and renewal. As we at IPD Philly take a moment to celebrate another remarkable year, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved—participants, volunteers, vendors, performers, donors, and sponsors. Your contributions made this year’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day event truly exceptional. With your support, IPD Philly has flourished throughout 2024, and we look forward to sharing the inspiring stories that await you in our Winter Newsletter!
In this Newsletter, we highlight powerful Indigenous narratives, showcasing communities fighting for environmental justice, confronting the impacts of the federal boarding school system, and demanding recognition and reparations. We also cover activism at the U.S.-Mexico border, movements in South America, and the creative work of Diné artists reclaiming their sacred Whirling symbol.
We also feature engaging articles celebrating the 2024 Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Philadelphia, New York, and San Francisco.
Furthermore, we share a link to the White House Native Summit 2024, and our highlighted books emphasize Indigenous knowledge for healing our relationship with the Earth, explore border towns as sites of resistance, and showcase the passionate activism of Indigenous youth addressing climate change.
Lastly, join us in celebrating our successes and goals for 2025, learn more in our winter fundraiser.
