Indigenous Peoples Day 2025

Creator God,

we give you thanks for the first peoples of this land — for their care of the earth, their wisdom, and their resilience. We honor the stories, traditions, and lives of Indigenous communities who have lived in harmony with creation since time immemorial.

Forgive us for the ways colonization and injustice have silenced voices and broken relationships. Open our hearts to truth and healing, that we may walk in right relationship with our Indigenous neighbors, listening, learning, and standing in solidarity.

May your Spirit move among us to bring justice to the oppressed, healing to the wounded, and renewed hope for all peoples who call this land home.

In the name of the One who brings reconciliation and peace, Amen.
