The Center for Native American Youth is inviting everyone to join in celebrating the resiliency of the Indigenous people. Native American Heritage Month (NAHM) celebrates the resilience, resistance, and historic truths about Indigenous people and their communities.
NAHM also helps to bring awareness to the Native population and promote inclusion of Indigenous people in the national consciousness, especially in the time of heightened racial awareness. We encourage you to educate yourself on the contemporary implications of colonization and its effects on Indigenous communities. This includes acknowledging the land that you visit, work, and reside on. To find out who’s land you are on, please visit native-land.ca
We hope to encourage our non-Native relatives to be in community and practice allyship today, this month, and into the future. Our team has put together a bingo challenge centered on encouraging our non-Indigenous relatives to celebrate Native American Heritage Month!
We invite you to share in your networks and challenge you all to complete at least one row of Bingo with the honor system this Native American Heritage Month.
Check out our social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, & Facebook) to stay up to date on the amazing youth-centered content throughout NAHM.
