Yesterday was Indigenous People’s Day 2018 and over 60 cities across Turtle Island celebrated with parades, dances, song and concerts. One major draw was the day’s celebration in Los Angeles, where the Black Eyed Peas and Redbone combined efforts for a grand slam occasion.
In remembrance of the day, we combed the internet for some great photos and fun with the hashtag #IndigenousPeoplesDay2018.
Enjoy!

Yosemite National Park: Columbus’ arrival in N. America in 1492 led to the migration of Europeans to the Americas, resulting in the “discovery” of Yosemite Valley 359 years later. Just as millions of people lived in N. America when Columbus arrived, thousands of people lived in Yosemite in 1851.
