CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Indigenous Peoples' Day is Oct. 9. You may not notice anything special denoting this in local cities around Northeast Ohio, because so few have recognized the day, opting to keep observing it as Columbus Day. In fact, Oberlin and Akron are among the only cities in our area observing Indigenous Peoples' Day instead of a celebration of a genocidal colonizer. In Columbus, the largest city bearing the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus's name, they too will observe Indigenous Peoples Day.
