Each November (and beyond!), we recognize National Native American Heritage Month. It is a time dedicated to celebrating the traditions, cultures, languages and stories of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities and ensure their rich histories and contributions continue to thrive with each passing generation.
As well as being a time for reflection, Native American Heritage Month offers an opportunity to act: many Indigenous and community leaders invite people to learn more about their culture and the issues that affect their communities today, including climate change, tribal sovereignty and land rights.
Please the UW Combined Fund Drive’s website on resources, both on and off-campus, on where and how you may contribute your time, energy, and capital: Celebrate our nation’s Indigenous cultures this Native American Heritage Month.
