In these days of discord and conflict, I want to acknowledge and appreciate the many people in Watertown who are working to create and support a welcoming community for all. On Sunday, Oct. 12th, we celebrated Watertown’s fourth celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day and over 200 people, young and old, of various races and ethnicities, joined together to celebrate Indigenous people and culture at the Hosmer Elementary School. The mood was joyous and happy; many participants expressed their enjoyment and appreciation for learning more about Indigenous people. Together, in community, we were able to celebrate and support the original peoples of these lands.
