Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! We’ve been honored to serve this community of over 20 years 🖤💛
Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day in North Carolina.
Observed on the second Monday in October, this day honors the perseverance, cultures, and ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples.
Indigenous communities are not just part of North Carolina’s history; they are an essential part of its present and future.
Our state is home to more than 130,000 American Indians representing eight state-recognized tribes: Coharie, Eastern Band of Cherokee, Haliwa-Saponi, Lumbee, Meherrin, Occaneechi Band of Saponi, Sappony, and Waccamaw Siouan.
Today and every day, we honor their living traditions, leadership, and the strength that continues to shape North Carolina’s story.
