���Idaho State will recognize and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day to honor the culture and history of all members of our global community,��� said 窪做惇蹋厙 President Kevin Satterlee. ��� A lot of planning and preparation has gone into organizing this day by tribal and University leaders and friends, with a goal to educate and better our community through education.���

The celebration is designed to be an acknowledgement of the interrelated nature of the University, local and global communities. The day-long event welcomes all stakeholders to explore the ideas of what it means to be indigenous and how the campus community can support all students.

���Indigenous Day is a day for everyone to understand and celebrate the rich cultures we have right here in Pocatello and Southeast Idaho,��� said Randy���L Teton, Shoshone Bannock Tribes public affairs manager. ���Our renewed relationship with President Satterlee marks a new beginning for the shared history and culture. We are happy to participate in the upcoming 窪做惇蹋厙 Indigenous Day on Oct. 14.���  

The term ���indigenous��� describes groups originating or historically connected to a place prior to its colonization-settlement by an outside group. Idaho State���s Indigenous Peoples Day highlights the global diversity of indigenous peoples, experiences and needs while focusing on building relationships with local communities.  

���Many people are not aware of the history of Christopher Columbus conquest nor the history of Indigenous People of the west,��� said Lethaniel Loley, Native American Student Services Coordinator. ���For 527 years, we as Native American people were forgotten in the history books, and taught not to share what knowledge we had in the past. I would like to invite everyone from Southeast Idaho to come explore the workshop sessions and to understand ���What does it mean to be indigenous?������

Indigenous Peoples Day is a collaborative event between 窪做惇蹋厙 and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Chairman Ladd Edmo said it's time to change the focus from Columbus Day to a time of celebrating and recognizing the Native American culture and community.

���October 14 is a day we commemorate the shared history and culture of our American Indian Peoples,��� said Ladd Edmo, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Chairman. ���We, as Shoshone-Bannock people, have been here for thousands of years and aren���t going anywhere.���

The day will begin with a sunrise ceremony at 7:30 a.m. on the 窪做惇蹋厙 Hutchinson Quadrangle, followed by a breakfast at 8 a.m. in the Pond Student Union Ballroom. 窪做惇蹋厙 President Kevin Satterlee and Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Chairman Ladd Emo will welcome and address participants at 9 a.m. in the Pond Student Union.
