Elder Halloween Party today!

Join us in November for an Elder meal.

On Indigenous People's Day a group of ICE Elders had the pleasure of joining the celebration at Indian Community School. We cheered on the all-school footrace, enjoyed lunch with the students and had a tour of the beautiful school.

Did you know: (From the ICS website) "Eight years ago, fourth-grade students from Indian Community School saw something they didn’t like in learning about Columbus Day. With the help of their teachers, those amazing ten-year-olds drafted a resolution approved by the Milwaukee County Board, recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day in Milwaukee! That October, our school celebrated Indigenous People’s Day at our school, with elected officials and tribal leadership from many of Wisconsin’s tribes.

The following year, in 2017, ICS students testified and held a rally in Madison at the Wisconsin State Capitol Building, with Milwaukee Representatives David Bowen and Lena Taylor, in support of a bill that declared the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day. The Bill did not pass but our students never give up hope!

In 2019, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed Executive Order No. 50 here at Indian Community School, declaring the second Monday in October as Indigenous People’s Day throughout Wisconsin! All of our students and tribal leaders from across the state witnessed the signing. Three days later, our school was invited to the renaming of a Milwaukee County Park from Columbus Park to Indigenous People’s Park. Once again, our students, families, community and our school were there to unveil and celebrate another historic accomplishment!"
