The Heard Museum celebrates “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” this year with a day of movement and play!
On Oct 14th, the Heard Museum invites you to join us to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day with friends and family as we emphasize movement and play; both important teachings in tribal communities. This family-friendly gathering will feature engaging clinics, interactive demos, and exciting activities led by respected community figures, all designed to showcase sports and movement the Indigenous way. Whether you’re a young adult, a family, or simply someone who loves to stay active, come and experience the joy of movement while honoring Indigenous peoples. Enjoy a day filled with entertainment, learning, and celebration within a vibrant and inclusive environment.
