Chisholm Public Schools (ISD 695) proudly joins communities across Minnesota and the nation in recognizing and celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day on October 12th.
Here on the Iron Range, we acknowledge and honor the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary homelands of Indigenous nations, particularly the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) and Dakota people. This day is a dedicated time to celebrate the rich cultures, resilience, sovereignty, and vital contributions of Native American communities past, present, and future.
For our Bluestreak students, educators, and staff, Indigenous Peoples’ Day is an opportunity to listen, reflect, and deepen our understanding. In our classrooms and across our district, we remain committed to uplifting Indigenous voices, sharing accurate histories, and fostering a community rooted in mutual respect, curiosity, and inclusion.
We invite our entire school family—students, families, alumni, and community partners—to join us in learning more about Native history, traditions, and contemporary experiences.

To start the 6th-grade Minnesota Studies class this year, we made identity markers. (They are shapes with words you use to describe yourself.) We then put them on the wall, connecting commonalities between all of us in 6th grade. Students were surprised to see how much they all have in common. As we go through the history of Minnesota, this will help us see more connections. Not only connections to each other but also to the history of themselves and their family in Minnesota.

As we approach Indigenous Peoples' Day on the second Monday of the month, we invite our entire school community to celebrate the rich heritage and enduring presence of Minnesota’s Indigenous nations: the Dakota and the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe). To bring this celebration out of the history books and into our daily lives, we have launched a building-wide "Language Walk." Hidden in plain sight across the campus—from the cafeteria to the gymnasium, and on the doors of our classrooms—are beautiful placards translating everyday school items into both Indigenous languages. We encourage you—our students, staff, and visitors—to take a closer look, sound out the words, and help us honor the original languages of this land as you walk the halls this week.
