Indigenous Peoples Day – Statewide

National Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2022 is a holiday that is celebrated across the country to pay tribute to the indigenous peoples of North America who have a lot of contributions to our native culture and traditions. The day is observed on the second Monday of October every year in lieu of Columbus Day as there is controversy regarding the celebration. As a result, some of the states in the United States do not recognize Columbus Day, and others celebrate it as Native American Day.
