Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the histories, cultures and contributions of Indigenous communities, including the Kumeyaay, Luiseño (Payómkawichum), Cupeño (Kuupangaxwichem) and Cahuilla (Ivilyuqaletem) peoples, whose ancestral and present-day homelands make up the San Diego region.
At the San Diego Workforce Partnership, we’re committed to uplifting Indigenous voices and supporting equitable access to education, career pathways and economic opportunity.
