November is National Native American Heritage Month, a time dedicated to honoring the rich and diverse history, culture, traditions, and contributions of Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawai’ian people. Proclamations honoring and celebrating Native American heritage began in 1986. First established as “American Indian Week” from November 23-30, 1986, by President Reagan, it was expanded to “National American Indian Heritage Month” in 1990 by President Bush. President Obama changed the name to “National Native American Heritage Month” in 2009. National Native American Heritage Month highlights the diversity and influence of Native communities, while also raising awareness of the challenges they face, both historical and ongoing. Events and educational initiatives during this time emphasize not only the artistic and cultural achievements of Native Americans, but also their resilience and advocacy for sovereignty, rights, and preservation of their heritage. This month encourages all Americans to learn more about the numerous Native nations and their impact on U.S. society, acknowledging the importance of inclusion and recognition of Indigenous perspectives in American history. #culturalawareness #NationalNativeAmericanHeritageMonth #employeediversity

🌟 Today, we celebrate Native American Heritage Day! As someone whose great-great grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian, I feel a deep connection to the rich traditions and resilient spirit of the Native American community. Honoring our American Indian brothers and sisters is not just a gesture; it's a commitment to understanding, respect, and reconciliation. Here are 3 simple yet meaningful ways to do so: 1️⃣ Recognize the Land You're On: Take a moment to acknowledge the traditional Native American lands you live or work on. It's a powerful act of respect and recognition. 2️⃣ Engage in Cultural Events: Attend traditional dances, museum exhibits, or festivals that celebrate Indigenous cultures. 3️⃣ Support Native Communities: Volunteer or support local Native American communities through initiatives like language revitalization, environmental projects, or community development. As Wilma Mankiller, the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, once said, "The secret of our success is that we never, never give up." Let's honor the legacy and spirit of Native American communities today and every day. #NativeAmericanHeritageDay #HonoringOurHeritage #CulturalAwareness

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Here are some fun, important facts: • OU honors a wide variety of holidays and events. Among these events includes Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Native American Heritage Month, which recognize the rich history and culture of Native peoples. • Tribal Nations are key contributors to OU, investing in multi-million dollar projects, providing financial support, promoting research initiatives, and supporting their citizens to pursue higher education here. Many also employ OU alumni and offer internship opportunities open to all students. • In 2019, tribes in Oklahoma contributed $15.6 billion (yes, with a “B”) to the state’s economy—a significant impact that would have otherwise fallen on taxpayers. (Spoiler: It’s projected to be higher for 2021). • Did you know that Rep. Tom Cole, Will Rogers, Tom Love, Jim Thorpe, and Maria Tall Chief, among so many others, are or were citizens of Tribal Nations in Oklahoma? Raise your hand if are represented by Rep. Tom Cole, used the airport, bought gasoline from Love’s Travel Stops, celebrated decorated American athletes at the Olympics, or enjoy the revolution of modern day American ballet. 🙋🏽♀️ I acknowledge that I greatly benefit from the significant contributions of Tribal Nations and tribal people to the University of Oklahoma, the State of Oklahoma, and the United States.

Today marks the beginning of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth! During this time, we recognize the rich history and contributions of the many Tribes and Tribal nations that lived – and continue to live – on this land.     Learn more about this important commemoration here: https://lnkd.in/eKjR2iTM
