November is National Native American Heritage Month! In recognition, the CRICO DEI Council shares the following message: During this time, Native Americans are honored and celebrated for their rich and varied cultures, traditions, history, and societal contributions. This month provides an opportunity to increase our knowledge of unique challenges faced by this population and better understand how historical trauma—such as colonization and genocide—has impacted Native peoples.
