The City of Gainesville, the Indigenous Peoples Task Force, and community partners invite all neighbors to celebrate the vibrant culture, traditions, and history of the first inhabitants of the land.
Mayor Harvey Ward will proclaim Monday as Indigenous Peoples Day in Gainesville during a brief ceremony recognizing the contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples, including the Potano, part of the Timucua Nation, who once inhabited north central Florida. The reading of the Indigenous Peoples Day proclamation will be followed by musical performances.
