November is Native American Heritage Month
November is Native American Heritage Month, or as it is commonly referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.
The month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. Heritage Month is also an opportune time to educate the public about tribes, to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges.
Irise Foundation is committed to celebrating our nation’s first Americans at our First Annual Native Educators and Administrators of the Year and to be held at the Gila River Resort & Casinos on November 4, 2023. Additional details are forthcoming!
