Native American Heritage Month

Why do we celebrate Native American Heritage Month?

“November is Native American Heritage Month, or as it is commonly referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. The month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people,” according to the National Congress of American Indians. -National Today

How can you honor Native American ancestors?

You can honor Native American Heritage Month and support Mother Nature at the same time by planting flowers and plants that are indigenous to your area. By acknowledging your land and giving thanks to the land you are on is a way to appreciate being Native and celebrating it's beauty.  

Give thanks to the tribe and its land at the start of meetings.
