Resolution would proclaim Indigenous Peoples’ Day

The resolution would proclaim Oct. 12, 2026, as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Poudre School District and encourage students, staff and the community to celebrate Indigenous communities’ excellence, resilience and contributions. It would commit the district to closing equity and opportunity gaps for Native and Indigenous students and providing equitable, inclusive and rigorous educational opportunities, experiences and outcomes; Title VI federal grant funding would support programs, cultural activities and academic supports to promote student success and celebrate Native identity. The resolution describes the district’s school community as built on the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Hinono’ei (Arapaho), Tsitsistas (Cheyenne) and Nuuchiu (Ute) Nations and peoples.
