Indigenous Peoples’ Day

The Heard Museum community invites you to join us in commemorating Indigenous Peoples’ Day with a day of programming dedicated to Indigenous voice and perspective. As we celebrate the second year of recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the City of Phoenix, we are honored to celebrate the cultural richness of Indigenous peoples throughout Indian Country – this year focusing of the power of spoken word, performance, film and intergenerational transference of knowledge.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Museum admission required to view exhibitions. Admission free for American Indian visitors with tribal ID.
