Sunday, October 9, 2022.
2pm EST.
Maritza Feliciano-Potter, Sanakori Aragauacuel Apito, the organizers say on Facebook, “An annual Indigenous event that remembers and honors the Indigenous ancestors whom suffered or were murdered by the invaders and colonizers in 1492 to the present day. We also remember and honor all the Indigenous peoples that were stolen, and enslaved for the sake of racist patriarchal profit on Turtle Island.
As the so called “U.S.A” celebrates the memory of Christopher Columbus, the Indigenous community remembers our ancestral memory of loss as well as seeking justice and healing from our collective ancestral trauma.
Feel free to bring items for the ancestral altar (such as fruits/seeds/shells/herbal medicines). Come prepared with your voices, ancestral songs, and your drums and rattles as we make space to remember those who came before us. Traditional Indigenous clothing or Regalia encouraged.”
For many years, I have been covering the Annual NYC Indigenous Day of Remembrance. For health problems, I will not be able to cover the event this year. Click here to see photos and videos from past years.
