Indigenous Peoples’ Day
October 13, 2025

As the Fall season and the beginning of the school year are here, this October, we aim to launch an online giving campaign that raises awareness among students, parents, and the Hopi community, and provides the opportunity to express their gratitude to our Native educators/teachers for their hard work and dedication throughout the year.

Educator Appreciation Day is a day to celebrate how our Hopi teachers are transforming education both in and out of the classroom, and also to reflect on the support they need to fully position their talents and training, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession throughout the United States. You can help us to improve and make a difference in our Hopi communities by providing the gift of education for Hopi sinom (people).

Our goal for the HEEF Educator Appreciation Day is to raise $12,000.
