Native American Heritage Month
I did not know until this morning that November is Native
America Heritage month. I feel deeply about the treatment of our Indigenous
People which has mostly been ignored. They experienced the worst genocide in
the history of the world. They deserve better. Please support and respect them.
November is dedicated to celebrating rich and diverse
cultures and traditions as well as acknowledging the important contributions of
Native people.
At Running Strong for American Indian Youth® we
support cultural programs that are preserving
traditions throughout Indian Country, and we look forward to sharing more about
these with you in the coming days.
We'll also be sharing fun facts like the ones below with
you to enhance your understanding of Native history and why it matters
today!
National Native American Heritage Month provides the
opportunity for us to educate the general public about tribal life, life
as a Native American today, and to raise a general awareness about the
unique challenges Native people and Native communities have faced both
historically and in the present.
We hope you will support us in our mission to
uplift Native tribal citizens, children, and families as we work
together to address and conquer these challenges by giving what you can today.
