National Native American Heritage Month
National Native American Heritage Month is celebrated each November to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples in the U.S. It’s an important time to reflect on the resilience of Native American communities and recognize the ongoing influence they have on society today.
🌍 Why it matters: This month is crucial for fostering an inclusive workplace by acknowledging Native American identities, cultures, and histories. Celebrating the month helps raise awareness about Indigenous issues and promotes greater cultural competence. It impacts several diversity dimensions, including race, ethnicity, and the recognition of Indigenous connections to the land. By creating space for Indigenous voices, organizations can work towards equity and reconciliation.
✨ Celebration idea: Incorporate land acknowledgments into your organization’s events or meetings to recognize the Indigenous peoples on whose land the company operates. This can be a meaningful way to show respect and encourage continued learning about Native history.
