The Board of Supervisors, at its April 18 meeting, voted unanimously to approve the second Monday in October to be recognized as Indigenous Peoples' Day.
With this approval, the Board is recognizing and honoring the resiliency and substantial contributions of Native Americans.
The County follows the State of California and the Federal government, who proclaimed Indigenous Peoples' Day on the second Monday of October in 2019 and in 2021, respectively. The national holiday was formerly known as Columbus Day.
The approval has no fiscal impact to the County's budget.
