NYC Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez - Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! / ¡Feliz Día De Los Pueblos Indígenas!

 

Office of Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez

Dear Friends and Neighbors,   Today we celebrate a history that is too often overlooked. We celebrate the people who have lived in this country for generations, long before the arrival of Columbus. Today we honor and recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day!   New York City is situated on land known to the indigenous people as the Lenapehoking Land. New York City is also home to the largest American Indian population among metropolitan areas, with over half a million indigenous people living in the City. This year, President Biden became the first U.S President to formally recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I hope everyone enjoys and continues to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day! Sincerely,   Ydanis Rodriguez

Querido Amig@ y Vecin@,   Hoy celebramos la las personas que han vivido en este país durante generaciones, mucho antes de la llegada de Cristóbal Colón. ¡Hoy honramos y reconocemos el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas! La ciudad de Nueva York está situada en una tierra conocida por los indígenas como la Tierra Lenapehoking. La ciudad de Nueva York también alberga la mayor población de indígenas Americanos entre las áreas metropolitanas, con más de medio millón de indígenas viviendo en la ciudad. Este año, el presidente Biden se convirtió en el primer presidente de los Estados Unidos en reconocer el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas. ¡Espero que todos disfruten y sigan celebrando el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas! Atentamente, Ydanis Rodríguez
