The UTA Native American Student Association will dedicate this year\u2019s Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Day to honor the life and legacy of Les Riding-In, Native American Student Association primary adviser, whose leadership and teachings were instrumental in bringing the holiday\u2019s recognition to campus. <\/p>\n

From noon to 2:30 p.m. Monday, students and communities around campus are invited to the Central Library\u2019s sixth floor Parlor, followed by a gathering in the Land Acknowledgement Courtyard. <\/p>\n

Stephen Silva-Brave, president of the Native American Student Association, said that they reenvisioned this day to honor, remember and continue Riding-In\u2019s contributions to the UTA community. <\/p>\n

The program will feature blessings, an honoring song and reflections from colleagues, students and community members who worked with Riding-In on initiatives such as the annual Benefit Powwow, the university\u2019s land acknowledgement and the Land Acknowledgement Courtyard. A light lunch will be provided by the Department of History and Geology. <\/p>\n

The memorial will also recognize the continuing presence and resilience of Native peoples. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about recognition \u2014 about the fact that this was all Indigenous peoples\u2019 land, and that we are still here,\u201d said Silva-Brave. \u201cIt\u2019s about reminding people of the true story of who were the first people here.\u201d <\/p>\n

Visitor parking is available in the Maverick Parking Garage. Attendees can get a free event permit by visiting the MavPark website, selecting \u201cpurchase event permit,\u201d choosing \u201cstudent organization event,\u201d choosing the Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Day event and entering the voucher code IPD2025. The event is open to all members of the campus and local community. <\/p>\n
