Native American Heritage Month 2023

麻豆原创 Honors Native American Heritage Month and the 2023 Theme of "Celebrating Tribal Sovereignty and Identity."聽
Each November the United States observes National Native American Heritage Month. This is a time that celebrates Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities. By honoring the cultures, heritages, traditions, languages, and stories of these people we preserve their聽histories and vital contributions for future generations.
Understanding This Year's Theme

Celebrating Tribal Sovereignty and Identity
Tribal sovereignty ensures that any decisions about Tribes with regard to their property and citizens are made with their participation and consent. The federal trust responsibility is a legal obligation under which the United States 鈥渉as charged itself with moral obligations of the highest responsibility and trust鈥 toward Indian tribes.
