VIA Institute on Character

Today, on International Indigenous Peoples Day, we at VIA Institute on Character honor and celebrate the rich heritage and enduring spirit of the Indigenous Nations of Ohio. Located in Cincinnati, we recognize and respect the connection that the Shawnee, Delaware, Potawatomi, Miami, and many other tribes have to this land—a bond that continues to enrich our community and remind us of a storied history that predates colonization. https://lnkd.in/ghR-5Zv #IndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousHeritage #Viainstitute #characterstrengths
