Celebrate Native American Heritage
Native American Heritage Month provides an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of Native cultures and communities. To honor Native peoples, we uplift their honest histories, significant contributions and contemporary experiences.
As scholar Debbie Reese reminds us about supporting Native American young people: "Our children are Native every day. But in far too many places, books by Native writers are only brought into the classroom in November [during Native American Heritage month]. We are who we are, all year long. Use the books, all year round. Bring those possible selves into the classroom as a matter of course so that Native children’s identities are affirmed, every day."
We offer selected resources to honor and teach the truth about Native peoples and to help ensure that learning about this heritage takes place all year long.
