November is American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month

In November 2024, the Oregon Department of Human Services proudly recognizes American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. We honor the government-to-government relationships we share with the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon, celebrating the rich cultural history each tribe brings to our community.

This month, we amplify Tribal voices, including those of our Tribal employees, as well as Tribal children, elders, and families throughout Oregon. It serves as a reminder for us to educate ourselves about the history of our land and the vital role our Tribal partners play in our work.

Join us in learning more about the Nine Tribes of Oregon, our Tribal Consultation Policy, and our commitment to upholding the Indian Child Welfare Act. Together, let’s stand as allies in celebrating Native Pride this month and beyond. Download the virtual background and use it​ all month!
