Hi Folks, Yá'át'ééh abiní! Which means ‘good morning” in Navajo. It is Indigenous Peoples Day! Today we should reflect upon and celebrate the history and culture of the American Indian- a nation of people who were the true founders of America and rightful owners of the very land we stand on today. An extremely humbling thought. But what is ‘Indigenous People’s Day’? And how do we celebrate it? Learning a couple of words in Navajo is one of the ways I will be celebrating! What is it? https://www.oprahmag.com/life/a34264178/what-is-indigenous-peoples-day/ <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oprahmag.com%2Flife%2Fa34264178%2Fwhat-is-indigenous-peoples-day%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cnatisha.harper%40Howard.edu%7C6fd2510ea5364c0dc25a08d86ea67210%7C02ac0c07b75f46bf9b133630ba94bb69%7C0%7C0%7C637381008509977932%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=RMXZIyumticaoygoQqentNcjNz4x3sz5HXRevRVmSjE%3D&reserved=0> And how can we celebrate it? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national-museum-american-indian/2020/10/07/indigenous-peoples-day-2020/ <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smithsonianmag.com%2Fblogs%2Fnational-museum-american-indian%2F2020%2F10%2F07%2Findigenous-peoples-day-2020%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cnatisha.harper%40Howard.edu%7C6fd2510ea5364c0dc25a08d86ea67210%7C02ac0c07b75f46bf9b133630ba94bb69%7C0%7C0%7C637381008509987890%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=4aTCJ6eRkPb0Mah3%2BAbeGDbWw%2BYOokCKq29A%2B9jE1U4%3D&reserved=0> Sincerely, Natisha Harper & the Diversity Committee <https://www.arlisna.org/organization/committees/80-diversity-committee> -- *Carla-Mae Crookendale, **she/her* <https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/> Arts Research Librarian Assistant Professor VCU Libraries Virginia Commonwealth University James Branch Cabell Library 901 Park Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23284-2033 804 827-0367 [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
