The 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 was celebrated on June 2, 2024. The act granted full citizenship to all Indigenous people born in the United States. Here are some things to know about the Indian Citizenship Act: Native Americans have been part of the history of the United States for thousands of years. In the late 19th century, the US government built detention camps on Native American homelands and established a separate legal system for them. The act did not include voting rights, which were not settled for another 40 years. Indigenous people continue to fight for voting rights, with some suing the state for voting barriers. There is work to be done still. Some legal experts believe that the act was a retroactive correction for the mistake of allowing tribal members to serve in World War I as if they were citizens. Many Native Americans hold dual citizenship in a federally recognized tribe and the United States.

In the journey of self-discovery and understanding, our heritage plays a pivotal role, intricately weaving the fabric of our identities with threads of tradition, language, and history. 'H is for Heritage,' a poem in #TeachMeAntiracismDiversity, serves as a beautiful reminder of how diverse cultural backgrounds contribute to the rich mosaic of our societies. This poem not only educates young minds about the importance of heritage but also encourages readers of all ages to delve into their own family stories, celebrating the unique cultural landscapes that have shaped their existence. It's a celebration of the myriad ways in which our ancestries influence our lives, often in more ways than we realize, from our values and beliefs to the subtleties of our daily practices. I invite my professional network to reflect on and share their own heritage stories. How do your cultural roots influence your professional identity and values? How do you bring your unique background into your workplace, fostering diversity and inclusivity? Let's use this opportunity to share, learn from one another, and celebrate the diversity that strengthens and enriches our professional communities. #Heritage #CulturalPride #DiversityAndInclusion Join the conversation by sharing your heritage stories and insights. Together, we can build a more inclusive world that recognizes and values the richness of every cultural tapestry.

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
