Happy Native American Heritage Month!
Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to lecture at a local college in Grand Rapids, my hometown. After introducing myself, I asked the 13 students in attendance how many of them knew what is celebrated during the month of November. To my surprise, not one of them knew that November is Native American Heritage Month.
I know many of us like to say that we celebrate being Native Americans year-round. However, since November is officially Native American Heritage Month, I encourage you to spread your Native pride and share this important recognition with others who may not be aware.
Here are some stories you might have missed this weekend:
– **US Presidents in Their Own Words Concerning American Indians**
– **Oral History Project Announces 14th Stop in Portland, Oregon: NABS Continues to Gather Crucial Stories Across Indian Country**
– **NABS Postpones New Mexico Oral History Project Visit to January**
Let’s continue to honor and celebrate Native American heritage, culture, and contributions—not just this month, but every day.
