Indigenous Peoples’ Day Celebrations in Boston
Boston institutions offered free events to commemorate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, despite efforts by the Trump administration to undermine the holiday.
“Christopher Columbus has been a prime target of a vicious and merciless campaign to erase our history, slander our heroes, and attack our heritage,”
quoted President Donald Trump in a proclamation. However, institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts and the Massachusetts Historical Society used the day to honor indigenous culture and history.
Exhibit at the Massachusetts Historical Society
Alexandra Moleski, National History Day program coordinator, curated an exhibit representing the seven teachings of the Anishinaabe people: love, respect, courage, wisdom, humility, truth, and honesty.
- Love
- Respect
- Courage
- Wisdom
- Humility
- Truth
- Honesty
Moleski saw curating the exhibit as a chance to reconnect with her own Penobscot and Wolastoqey heritage.
