Our world is a beautiful, diverse mix of people and cultures with distinctly different ways of life. Indigenous Peoples nurturing deep roots in their homelands have fought throughout history for their sovereignty and right to tend to their native lands. In the U.S. Indigenous People’s Day is observed on the second Monday of October.

Indigenous People’s Day is about celebrating the unique cultural stories of Indigenous Peoples around the world, and bringing light to their struggles to maintain their cultural identities.  

Activity available from October 1- October 31, in person and online as a virtual program. *

About the branch

Located at 2000 W Franklin St., EVPL West was one of three original libraries built in Evansville with funds donated by Andrew Carnegie. Along with EVPL East, it was dedicated and opened to the public on January 1, 1913. Renovated in 2003, the building is surrounded by a park-like setting that is home to annual events like the Farmer’s Market and West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. EVPL West features a spacious meeting room, public access computers, and comfortable adult and youth areas.
