O Indian's day is celebrated annually in the April 19th and in this post we selected several Indian Day Activities, ready to print and apply in initial series.

April 19 was chosen as the date to commemorate indigenous culture in honor of the First Inter-American Indigenous Congress, which took place on April 19, 1940.

The objective of this congress was to bring together indigenous leaders from different regions of the American continent and ensure their rights.

In Brazil, this date was made official through the Decree-Law No. 5.540, of June 2, 1943, signed by then president Getúlio Vargas. At the international level, the United Nations (UN) also created the International Day of Indigenous Peoples (9 of August) to raise awareness among governments and the world's population about the importance of preserving and recognizing the rights of indigenous peoples.
