Happy Indigenous People’s Day from JCFPL

Happy Indigenous People’s Day from Jersey City Free Public Library. Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a time to honor and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous communities. At the Jersey City Free Public Library (JCFPL), we view this day as an opportunity to reflect on the resilience and enduring heritage of indigenous peoples, whose influence continues to shape our society. Libraries are spaces of learning and inclusion, and we proudly recognize the importance of Indigenous voices in the broader narrative of history and culture.
