Indigenous People’s Day
Monday, Oct. 10, 2022 is Indigenous Peoples’ Day and we invite our Kenmore Community to celebrate Indigenous peoples and honoring their histories, culture, legacies, and futures. There is a deep history of violence, attempted erasure, and claims to land as Europeans continued to make their way to the Americas. While it is important to acknowledge this, we must also recognize the lives and cultures of Indigenous people pre-colonization and their resistance, survival, and struggle for justice ever since.
As residents of Kenmore, we also want to acknowledge Indigenous people more locally, who have been and still are here, and recognize that Kenmore Elementary has been built on Coast Salish lands. The Coast Salish peoples live in and beyond the Puget Sound, and we continue to honor them for their persistence, strength, and legacies.
