November is Native American Heritage Month! Honor and celebrate the rich traditions, culture and contributions of Native American communities. Learn about the Tribes in your area by reading books by or about Native American, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian authors, visiting museums and cultural centers, attending a powwow and by participating in educational events.

It's exciting to see the Michigan Department of Civil Rights back in the region with the re-establishment of their office in Flint's State of Michigan administration building.
