Description

In recognition of Clark County’s 3rd Annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the Indigenous community will come together with
Commissioner Tick Segerblom to celebrate changing the colors of the lights on the iconic welcome sign at the world-famous Las Vegas Strip!

Celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day fights the invisibility that impacts Natives communities—it is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate Native peoples, their resiliency and their future, in the present.

Background info:

The first proclamation for Indigenous Peoples’ Day in southern Nevada was led by the Native American Student Association at University of Nevada Las Vegas, leading to proclamations also by the City of Las Vegas. Work continues to have Indigenous Peoples Day adopted in Nevada Revised Statutes as the 2nd Monday of October instead of the current date – August 9th, which was established in 2017 by then-Gov. Sandoval.
