INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY

A colorful display

Above, a group from Ikidowin Theater adjust their outfits before a Native youth fashion show on Indigenous Peoples Day on Monday at Battle Creek Regional Park in St. Paul, celebrated on the same day that other states celebrate Columbus Day. The Monday events concluded a weekend of celebrations, which included a basketball tournament, a 5K, live music, dancing and drumming. At right, Michael Perez, 15, a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, poses for a portrait before the fashion show in his outfit that has handprints representing missing and murdered indigenous women.
