Recognized each year on the second Monday of October, today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day, a holiday to acknowledge all of our Indigenous communities across the United States. We honor, recognize, amplify and celebrate the impact, contributions, and history of Indigenous people and communities of this country. 


Throughout history, Indigenous peoples have been erased and marginalized; misrepresented through racist and oppressive symbols/caricatures; and forced to prove their heritage, histories, and humanity. Still today, they continue to face brutality and disenfranchisement. Restitution for our Indigenous communities requires more than a day to honor and more than land acknowledgments. Elevating Indigenous voices, supporting Indigenous communities, and reflecting on inclusive practices that bring awareness to their joys and struggles is just the beginning. We must continue to challenge injustices against Indigenous peoples. 


More about Indigenous Peoples' Day

  • In 2021, President Biden issued the first-ever presidential proclamation of Indigenous Peoples Day. The 2023 Indigenous Peoples’ Day Proclamation can be found here. 

  • South Dakota was the first state to celebrate “Native American Day” in 1990 in opposition to “Columbus Day”. 

  • Berkeley, California was the first city to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 1992 as a protest to the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival. 


For centuries and even to this day, many continue to refer to this day as “Columbus Day” in reference to Christopher Columbus and his “discovery” of the New World. History has shown that Columbus was not the first to discover the Americas, and the celebration of “Columbus Day” ignores and erases the brutal treatment, genocide, and colonization of Indigenous peoples. Columbus’ first colonistic voyage led to the Bahamian Island of Guanahani (San Salvador) and the almost extinction of the Taino people. This voyage would be one of four in the name of Spain as the attempted erasure of the Indigenous peoples’ of The Bahamas and Caribbean. 



Land acknowledgments are not the only answer to recognizing Indigenous peoples’, nor are they the  only act of retribution. However, by acknowledging the land on which this university rests, we do recognize that more work is to be done. We endeavor to honor the Indigenous people who first stewarded this land; the history of the land; and work to address Indigenous peoples who have been forced from this place and rendered invisible. And so today and everyday, i3b shares the UMBC Land Acknowledgement to recognize and honor the Indigenous peoples  that have come before us, those who are here with us in the present, and those who will come after us and all of their rich legacy and history. 



UMBC was established upon the land of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples. Over time, citizens of many more Indigenous nations have come to reside in this region. We humbly offer our respect to all past, present, and future Indigenous people connected to this place.

A Celebration of the Autumn Harvest

The Mid Autumn Festival is a harvest festival and holiday that takes place on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Lunar calendar. Predominately observed across Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and many other ethnic Chinese communities. 


While celebrating the autumn harvest as a whole is a focus of this time of year, depending on which Asian culture and country you are focusing on, you will find different cultural traditions and beliefs such as an emphasis on the moon, gathering with family, and even honoring those who have passed. Across all of these countries, the importance of gathering with family and loved ones can be seen.


Each country has its own name or reference for the Mid Autumn Festival, here are some of them (for additional viewing, please see the attached photo): 



During the Mid Autumn Festival, you will find many people eating and gifting Mooncakes, a pastry filled with different rich flavors such as red bean or lotus. You may also find crescent-shaped rice cakes called Songpyeon (Korean) filled with either red bean, chestnuts, or even toasted sesame seeds. Similar to other holidays across the world, food plays an important aspect to many during the Mid Autumn Festival.

We impart to all at UMBC to partake in understanding and uplifting the stories, experiences, passions, love, and history of our Hispanic/Latin(e/x) community. Hispanic Heritage Month further celebrates the traditions, cultures, families, love, and service all Hispanic and Latin(e/x) folks. 


History of Hispanic Heritage Month

Beginning on September 15th, Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the anniversary of independence of the Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, dating back to 1968. Additionally, Mexico, Chile, and Belize also celebrate their independence days during this period with Día de la Raza on October 12th.


The term Hispanic, referring to the racial and ethnic groups of folks from hisphanophone (Spanish Speaking) countries, that were historically colonized by Spain. This term is inclusive to those of Spanish origin. The term Latino, excludes Spain, but includes non-Spanish speaking Latin American countries such as Belize, Brazil, Guyana, and Haiti. Some folks may have ethnic roots from Latin America, and may use either, neither, or both Hispanic and/or Latino.

In the month of September and October, i3b is partnering on events in celebration of our Hispanic/Latin(e/x) communities.

Applications for the '23-'24 MLE Cohort can be found HERE. 

The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) is a collaboration between Campus Life and Initiatives for Identity Inclusion & Belonging (i3B), that seeks to: 

Engage participants in a multicultural development and leadership learning program; 
Enhance participants' understanding of their social identities, leader identity, as well as their capacity to lead; 
And enable participants' development through authenticity, self-awareness, relationships, and capitalizing on difference. 


The sessions are as follows:
 
- Monday, October 2nd, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, October 23rd, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, November 6th, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm

***All sessions will take place in The Commons Lower Flat Tuesdays minus the last meeting in May***

Participants will be exploring the concept of Authentic Leadership, Legacy Building, and Breaking Barriers of White Supremacy within Leadership. We will do this in a leadership learning cohort by: 
  • Enhancing participants' leader identity and leadership capacity using an identity-conscious lens and student development theories;
  • Increasing participants' awareness of their personal abilities, identity development, and intersections that shape their story through authenticity, self-reflection, and cultural humility;
  • Exploring the role they play in developing relationships while building intra/intercultural connections; 
  • And capitalizing on their differences, specifically in relation to their racial, ethnic, national, and other salient identity social groups
 
The purpose of all MLE programs is to provide a space for students and student leaders who identify within diverse or marginalized backgrounds to discover their own capacity to lead, while also promoting a better understanding of their experiences, issues, strengths, and outcomes in navigating their own collegiate careers. However, ALL students are welcome to apply!   
 
Registration is due Monday, September 18th, 2023 at 11:59pm. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to participate. In order to be accepted into the program you must commit to all sessions. Please answer all of the questions before submitting your registration. Any questions can be sent to campuslife@umbc.edu and i3b@umbc.edu. Again you can find the link to apply here.
