Our staff will be out of office on Monday October 12th 2026 to recognize Indigenous People’s Day.
The ClaimLinx staff will return to office Tuesday October 13th 2026. Thank you for being understanding to our staff as we recognize Indigenous People’s Day.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day helps to correct the false narrative of Americas discovery, and puts the focus on America’s first inhabitants and the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today.
A Day of Honor
The day is an opportunity to learn about and honor the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples. In Greater Cincinnati, this includes the Shawnee, Miami, Delaware, (Lenni Lenape), Potawatomi, and Wyandot peoples. Indigenous Peoples’ Day amplifies the voices of Native communities, uplifting Indigenous excellence in areas like environmental stewardship, health, connection to the land, Indigenous foods, and native ancestry.
