Reimagining - a celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day | Rev. Paige Getty

Rev. Paige Getty and other UUCC leaders honor Indigenous Peoples Day, which “reimagines Columbus Day and changes a celebration of colonialism into an opportunity to reveal historical truths about the genocide and oppression of indigenous peoples in the Americas, to organize against current injustices, and to celebrate indigenous resistance.” (from UUA – Indigenous Peoples Day)
