Native American Heritage Month is celebrated each November as a way to recognize and celebrate the heritage, customs, and contributions of the native inhabitants of the United States.
Through reading and films, exhibits and local events, we are encouraged to not only learn more of a proud and often painful history, but to embrace and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of this cultural group of Americans.
What can you do to embrace the spirit of this monthly celebration? Allow yourself to become better informed and culturally aware.
