Indigenous American Heritage Month
Honoring Indigenous American History
Celebrating diversity in our community begins with recognizing the First Peoples of this land; the Indigenous nations whose histories, traditions, and wisdom continue to shape our shared story. This month, we honor the rich tapestry of Indigenous cultures through storytelling, art, music, and teachings that connect us to the land and to one another.
By learning from and celebrating Indigenous voices, we deepen our understanding of resilience, stewardship, and community. Together, we can help ensure that these stories are not only remembered but respected and uplifted for generations to come.
We invite you to take part in celebrating Indigenous American Heritage month in OUR community by sharing your reflections, experiences, and photos that celebrate the Indigenous heritage of the place you call home.
