Monday, October 14 marked Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and Stockton had a day full of activities to celebrate its importance. To start off the day’s program, the Office of Student Development hosted a Welcome, Reading, and Recognition of Place at the Lower Level of the Art Gallery. President Joe Bertolino gave the Welcome Remarks followed by a Reading and Recognition of Place by Tyrese “Bright Flower” Gould Jacinto. “Take some time to understand where we are and where the university sits,” said Jacinto, “go outside and experience nature […] and property on which we sit.” She shared her poem ‘Revelation Creation,’ in which she shared the story of how it came to her in just one night. Later on in the Multicultural Center Courtyard, the Lenapehoking Indigenous Youth Group had an outdoor dance performance.
