Indigenous People's Day & Earth Guardians Garden Service Day
October 13, 2024 10:30-12:00 pm
Join us for a Garden Service Day at the First Nations Gardens at Wilson and Pulaski on October 13, 2024, from 10:30 am-12 pm!
This is a great family activity to honor the Indigenous People of Chicago by visiting the land that the city of Chicago gave back to the Native community.
The First Nations garden community is helping to rejuvenate and plant their city block with a native prairie to help pollinators and provide a space for the Chicago area indigenous community to gather.
All children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.
Please come with work gloves, gardening tools, snacks and water. There is a Porta Potty onsite, but no indoor bathrooms.
You can learn more about the Chicago area Native Community by visiting the Newberry Library's current exhibition, https://www.newberry.org/calendar/indigenous-chicago and participate in Indigenous People's Day events at the Field Museum on Monday: https://www.fieldmuseum.org/our-events/indigenous-peoples-day/indigenous-peoples-day
