National Native American Heritage Month- November 2024 “During National Native American Heritage Month, we honor the history, rich cultures, and vast contributions of Native peoples. We celebrate the hundreds of Tribal Nations that are ushering in a new era in our Nation-to-Nation relationships. And we recommit to respecting Tribal sovereignty and self-determination and working in partnership with Tribal Nations to bring new prosperity and security to Native peoples. Indigenous peoples' history in the United States is defined by strength, survival, and a deep commitment to and pride in their heritage, right to self-governance, and ways of life. Native peoples have built and sustained powerful Tribal Nations, and the knowledge they developed still benefits us today.  However, our Nation's failed policies of the past subjected generations of Native peoples to cruelty, violence, and intimidation. The forced removal of Native peoples from their homes and ancestral homelands; attempts to assimilate entire generations; and stripping of Indigenous peoples of their identities, cultures, and traditions are some of the darkest chapters of our Nation's history. The trauma and turmoil fundamentally altered their communities. Indigenous peoples have persisted and survived -- a testament to their resilience and resolve. Today, Native communities are leading the way forward and continuing to strengthen the fabric of the United States. They have long served in the United States military and currently serve in the highest levels of government -- including the Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, America's first Native American Cabinet secretary. In every field and sector, Native peoples are pushing for progress and contributing to our shared prosperity.”

November is Native American Heritage Month! During National Native American Heritage Month, we honor the history, rich cultures, and vast contributions of our Native peoples. We celebrate the hundreds of Tribal Nations that are ushering in a new era in our Nation-to-Nation relationships, tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Our Indigenous peoples’ history in the United States is defined by strength, survival, and a deep commitment and pride in our heritage, right to self-governance, and ways of life. Native people have built and sustained powerful Tribal Nations and indigenous knowledge. However, our Nation’s failed policies subjected generations of Native people to cruelty, violence, and intimidation. The Government forced removal of Native peoples from our homes and ancestral homelands; attempted to assimilate entire generations; and stripping of our tribal identities, cultures, and traditions are some of the darkest chapters of our Nation’s history. The trauma and turmoil fundamentally altered our tribal communities. We as Indigenous peoples have persisted and survived — a testament to our resilience. Today, Native communities are leading the way forward. We have long served in the United States military and currently serve in the highest levels of government. In every field and sector, Our Native people are pushing for progress and contributing to our shared prosperity. #indigenousknowledge #november #nativeamericanheritagemonth #wearestillhere

It is National Native American Heritage Month. In celebration of this heritage month, members of the Logos team are sharing their recommendations of books, videos, documentaries, movies, or TV shows that are either created by Native American creators and/or are centered around the histories, cultures, or stories of Indigenous peoples. Today, Helio Fred Garcia shares his recommendation for what to read this month -- "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. “The book details the complexity and sophistication of Indigenous societies before European colonization. It notes that Indigenous communities had rich, thriving cultures with advanced political systems, economies, and spiritual traditions. However, when European settlers arrived, they brought with them a mindset of domination, seeing the land as a resource for exploitation and the Indigenous people as obstacles to be removed," he explains. "A key argument of the book is that the foundation of the United States was built on the violent dispossession and systematic erasure of Native American cultures and lands. Policies such as the Indian Removal Act, the Trail of Tears, and the reservation system were not incidental but were part of a deliberate strategy to claim land for European settlers and, later, the U.S. government. Dunbar-Ortiz argues that this legacy of colonial violence set a precedent for ongoing inequities and injustices faced by Indigenous communities today.” #NationalNativeAmericanHeritageMonth

#Awakea Innovators, Inventors & AlohaPreneurs, It’s Hoʻomaikaʻi (thankful) Thursday, what might you be thankful for today? #2024MinorityMentalHealth #1810KingdomOfHawaiiIndependence #1776USIndependence As a USAF Veteran, I am thankful for the Freedom I swore an Oath to Defend & Protect 🇺🇸 Yet, I honor my Cultural Identity and Cultural Inheritance🧬 Today I Celebrate the Independence of the Kingdom of Hawai’i 👑 while recognizing my Oath to defend & protect against all domestic and foreign enemies who may threaten our Freedom🇺🇸 Cultural Identity & Inheritance 1. 1810 - Unification of the Hawaiian Islands - King Kamehameha I married highest ranking Royalty Queen Keopualani to unify the Hawaiian Islands, establishing the Kingdom of Hawaii. This unification fostered a centralized culture and language, preserving and standardizing terms. 2. 1843 - Paulet Affair - British naval officer Lord George Paulet's temporary seizure of Hawaii highlighted the islands' geopolitical significance. The restoration of Hawaiian sovereignty emphasized the resilience of Hawaiian cultural identity, including spiritual terms such as ‘Aeko. 3. 1893 - Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarch - The overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani disrupted the traditional Hawaiian governance and culture. The subsequent annexation efforts brought challenges to preserving indigenous language and spiritual beliefs, including the concept of ‘Aeko as a guardian aumakua. 4. 1898 - Annexation of Hawaii - The formal annexation of Hawaii by the United States marked a shift in political control and cultural influence. Despite these changes, efforts to maintain and revive traditional knowledge and terms, including ‘Aeko, continued among Native Hawaiians. 5. 1941 - Attack on Momi Habor - The attack on Pearl Harbor underscored Hawaii's strategic importance, further integrating the islands into global geopolitical dynamics. In this context, the preservation of indigenous terms and cultural concepts like ‘Aeko became part of a broader movement to retain Hawaiian identity. 6. 1959 - Hawaii Statehood - Hawaii's transition to statehood in 1959 brought increased federal attention and support for cultural preservation. This period saw renewed interest in Hawaiian language and spirituality, emphasizing the importance of terms like ‘Aeko in expressing cultural heritage. 7. 1978 - Hawaiian Renaissance and Constitutional Convention - The Hawaiian Renaissance movement revitalized interest in Native Hawaiian culture, language, and identity. The establishment of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) during the 1978 Constitutional Convention aimed to protect and promote cultural traditions, including the etymology and significance of ‘Aeko. 8. 1993 - Apology Resolution - The U.S. Congress issued a formal apology for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, acknowledging historical injustices and recognizing Native Hawaiian sovereignty. #AlohaVaMana, Kahuna Loeka W. 🟢🔴

OK, perhaps there needs to be a 'slavery reflection room' but why does it have to obliterate what is, essentially, a national war memorial? This is like the news that today, Magdalen College at Oxford University won't observe St. George's Day (the patron saint of England) but it will observe an Eid dinner. Why can't we have both? There's plenty of room in a multicultural democracy for many viewpoints. But these actions do not create an atmosphere of equality and understanding. By deliberately erasing one viewpoint (the viewpoint of a majority, I would argue) in favour of another ( a minority viewpoint) the powers-that-be are seeking to place that majority at a disadvantage, and to elevate the minority to a position of supremacy. And, seeking to reinforce their position by enacting ludicrous hate crime laws which are far over-reaching, and are close to a suspension of the free speech and free assembly rights which Britons have enjoyed since the time of the Magna Carta. 'Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? ….. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered.'- '1984', Orwell https://lnkd.in/gXNjmECV @NML_Muse #totalitarianism #authoritarianism #freedom #history #MagnaCarta #revisionism #Orwell #dystopia #Liverpool #museum #RedGuard #cuckold #reverseracism #racialsupremacy #cowardice #UnitedKingdom #oxforduniversity #Magdalen #Marxists #champagnesocialists #ThoughtPolice #thoughtcrime #ignoranceisknowledge
