Although the United States of America recognizes November as Native American Heritage Month, we acknowledge along with our people across Indian country that our heritage is to be honored every day. Our Native peoples’ traditions, culture, and contributions exceed what any history book has ever documented. Our story has many beginnings with the various creation stories told among our
tribes. Our story continues over hundreds of years of facing abuse and neglect. Our story remains one of time-honored traditions and a strong culture. Our story permeates all aspects of life today in the United States of America. Our purpose is to stay resilient and keep our culture alive!
