Throughout the month of November, the Office of Multicultural Affairs within the Division of Enrollment and the Student Experience, in collaboration with student organizations and campus partners, hosts Native Heritage Month. Native Heritage Month offers a variety of events to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of native people.

Rock Your Mocs!
Wednesday, Nov. 15, to Wednesday, Nov. 22

The national “Rock Your Mocs” movement encourages indigenous peoples across the world to wear moccasins and stand together as one, while also recognizing and celebrating tribal individuality. The national Rock Your Mocs Day is Wednesday, Nov. 15, but it is celebrated throughout the week on campus to allow for more moc-wearing opportunities.

Native Heritage Month is one of four heritage months coordinated by the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
