In March of 2019, the Indigenous New Hampshire Collaborative Collective helped to host an open forum at University of New Hampshire addressing the potential of changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day at UNH and on a larger scale. Listen to hear what panelists had to say about this change. Note: After the forum, the Student Affairs Committee at UNH proposed a motion on Indigenous People’s Day, reading “We propose that Columbus Day be renamed Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the UNH Calendar and that it be observed on the second Monday in October. This would start in Fall 2019. Recognition of IP Day does not require classes to be canceled.”

This week, New Hampshire legislators will vote on HB221, a bill to rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The Indigenous New Hampshire Collaborative Collective reflected on why we support the bill and we urge our listeners to call their representatives to ask them to vote in favor of it.

This episode features the voices of our UNH student interns. We asked them to reflect on their semester as part of this collaborative project and about what they wished their peers knew about Indigenous New Hampshire. Learn about the impact that this experience has had on college students here in New Hampshire.
