November is Native American Heritage Month!

Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month, a time in which we celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Native people. It's also an opportunity to educate others about the significant contributions made by the Indigenous peoples of this land, as well as a time to draw attention to the unique challenges that Native people face, and learn about the work that tribes are doing to confront these challenges.
