Celebrate Native American Day
Native American Day appears on the Presbyterian Calendar as the day to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Native Americans/American Indians to the life of the church and community. The date of September 22 or 23 was selected and established as the date for Native American Day. Fall equinox occurs on one or the other of these dates. The equinox marks harvest time for many Native tribes and is a time of celebration and preparation for winter. 

Celebrate Native American Day by giving recognition to the presence of Native Americans in our society today. Learn more about Native American Day and find ways to celebrate.

A Native American Day magnet is available for distribution. Contact the Office of Native American Congregational Support at (502) 569-5684 or e-mail us to request yours.
