On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the original stewards of this land whose history, culture, and presence long preceded modern borders.
Reflecting on Indigenous history also deepens our conversation around immigration. It reminds us that human movement across this continent has a deep, ancient past—long before artificial lines or immigration policies were drawn, and that both Indigenous communities and immigrant families share deep resilience, hard work, and a profound connection to the places they call home.
Today, let's listen to Indigenous voices, honor enduring sovereignty and presence, and build a more compassionate, informed understanding of what it means to share this land.
