"Many places in the Americas have been home to different Native Nations over time, and many Indigenous people no longer live on lands to which they have ancestral ties. Even so, Native Nations, communities, families, and individuals today sustain their sense of belonging to ancestral homelands and protect these connections through Indigenous languages, oral traditions, ceremonies, and other forms of cultural expression." In November, we remember and celebrate the cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Learn more about the territories and communities of indigenous and non-indigenous people and where they live and lived on this interactive map from Native Land.

Indigenous History Month. It's essential to reflect on how we connect with each other. The idea of engagement can feel overwhelming, leading to overthinking and hesitation. However, a meaningful way to start is learning about Indigenous Peoples is to "think local." Focusing on local Indigenous communities allows us to build authentic relationships, connect on a deeper level, and recognize local changemakers walking significant journeys. Attend local events, support Indigenous-owned businesses, volunteer for local initiatives, and educate yourself about the history and culture of Indigenous peoples in your area. These practical steps help foster genuine connections and demonstrate our commitment to the community's well-being. Indigenous History Month is a time to honor the rich heritage, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Indigenous peoples. By thinking local, we ground our efforts in respect and authenticity, making our actions more impactful. Let's move past overthinking and take concrete steps to support our local Indigenous communities, building a future rooted in understanding, respect, and celebrating Indigenous culture. #IndigenousHistoryMonth #ThinkLocal #SupportLocalCommunities #IndigenousPeoples #CulturalHeritage #CommunityEngagement #RespectAndAuthenticity #IndigenousLeadership
