November is Native American Heritage Month, which this year will be an online celebration of the contribution Native Americans have made, and continue to make.
From art and jewelry, to the conservation of land and animals, the language we use today and the food we eat – the contributions of Native American influences are all around us.
Each year, that contribution is celebrated through a variety of events, forming part of the now well-established Native American Heritage Month. This year, many of the physical events have been cancelled or moved to become virtual events, as a result of the pandemic.
Despite that, this year’s celebrations will still see a host of virtual webinars and other online events taking place – all of which will recognize the important contribution of Native people to American culture and celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Native people.
The month of activities is also an opportunity to educate people about tribes, to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges.
These include:
All of these events and activities are an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the powerful influence Native Americans have had on our culture – and how they continue to shape the way we move forward.
More information on how to access these webinars, as well as the host of other online activities taking place as part of Native American Heritage Month, can be found here.
