Indigenous Peoples’ Day became an official holiday replacing Columbus Day in the state of Vermont in 2019. Today, it serves as a reminder of the strength of indigenous communities throughout the country. CCTV has recorded events, discussions, celebrations, and protests that center indigenous culture, heritage, and voices. These programs bring together indigenous and non-indigenous community members to share stories and celebrate the resilience of the Abenaki people. We offer you some of this programming below with respect and appreciation for the Abenaki people who have an enduring presence in the unceded Abenaki territory that Vermont now occupies.
