The Office of Multicultural Affairs, in collaboration with campus departments and student organizations, will host a series of events this November in honor of Native Heritage Month. The activities throughout the month will celebrate the histories, cultures and traditions of Native people.
“We encourage our campus community to be ‘All In’ during Native Heritage Month as we explore and celebrate the many facets of Native culture and contributions of Native peoples to the world,” says Regina Jones, assistant director of the Native Student Program in the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
This month’s celebration includes two keynote lectures, as well as the national “Rock Your Mocs” movement and Native Outreach Day hosted in partnership with the Office of Admissions. Some highlights of the month’s celebration include:
