Flagstaff, Ariz. — Events will be held in Flagstaff to address the colonial legacy of genocide and slavery celebrated throughout this country as "Columbus Day."
Indigenous Peoples continue to resist centuries of colonial violence in this area known as the Southwest.
From racial profiling, police violence, forced relocation, extreme resource extraction, and desecration of sacred places such as the holy San Francisco Peaks, these events will address remembrance, survivance, and legacies of resilience.
Event organizers are also calling on Flagstaff City Council to take meaningful steps towards recognizing Indigenous Peoples' Day.
