Each November, the Intercultural Collective’s Native Student Program leads students, faculty and staff in the celebration of Native Heritage Month (NHM). NHM events celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions and histories while also acknowledging the important contributions of Indigenous people across Turtle Island.
“Native American Heritage Month is an amazing opportunity for those that want to learn more about Indigenous culture,” says Darrin White, Native Student Program coordinator. “There will be events throughout the month that express culture, heritage and traditions. While the month is important, it is not the only chance for people to learn. Throughout the year, our Indigenous students practice and carry our teachings with them daily.”
This year’s monthlong celebration will kick off with an event on Friday, Nov. 1, from 3 to 4:30 at 113 Euclid Ave. The space at 113 Euclid Ave. serves as a gathering place for Native students and for those who are interested in exploring Native American culture and history. Kalhaku McLester, a member of the Oneida Nation and a mechanical engineering student in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, will lead a discussion on the Native Thanksgiving Address. Tours of 113 Euclid and light refreshments will be available.
Event highlights include the following. A complete list is available on the Native Heritage Month webpage.
