November is National Native American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian people and their languages, stories, and cultures. For organizations, this is a powerful moment to reflect on how we can actively support and uplift Native voices within our workplaces, from inclusive hiring practices to supporting Indigenous-led initiatives and businesses and hosting cultural events or featured speakers. How is your organization honoring Native American Heritage Month? #IndigenousHeritageMonth #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth.

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.

During National Native American Heritage Month, we honor and celebrate Native American heritage, history, and culture. Native Americans have persisted despite tremendous adversity and centuries of displacement and dispossession of their ancestral homelands. Regardless of these injustices, Native Nations, individuals, families, and communities have persevered, and have preserved Indigenous languages, traditions, ceremonies, and practices.   We take this opportunity to celebrate the diverse histories and traditions of the many tribes and cultures of the Native American peoples. This can be done in many ways: including taking the time to learn more about the tribes of your local area, making land acknowledgements at public and private gatherings, and educating ourselves and future generations on the complex relationship between the United States and the Indigenous peoples who were some of the first inhabitants of these lands.   Though Native American culture is not a monolith, living in harmony with nature is a shared core value. Practicing mindfulness towards sustainability and striving for a lifestyle that cares for the earth is a great way to honor Native American cultures in everyday life. BWB&O is proud to recognize National Native American Heritage Month!

🌟 Today, we celebrate Native American Heritage Day! As someone whose great-great grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian, I feel a deep connection to the rich traditions and resilient spirit of the Native American community. Honoring our American Indian brothers and sisters is not just a gesture; it's a commitment to understanding, respect, and reconciliation. Here are 3 simple yet meaningful ways to do so: 1️⃣ Recognize the Land You're On: Take a moment to acknowledge the traditional Native American lands you live or work on. It's a powerful act of respect and recognition. 2️⃣ Engage in Cultural Events: Attend traditional dances, museum exhibits, or festivals that celebrate Indigenous cultures. 3️⃣ Support Native Communities: Volunteer or support local Native American communities through initiatives like language revitalization, environmental projects, or community development. As Wilma Mankiller, the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, once said, "The secret of our success is that we never, never give up." Let's honor the legacy and spirit of Native American communities today and every day. #NativeAmericanHeritageDay #HonoringOurHeritage #CulturalAwareness

Honoring Native American Heritage Month: The Wisdom of the Four Winds As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month, we reflect on the rich cultural traditions and wisdom passed down through generations. One powerful symbol in many Native cultures is the concept of the Four Winds, which represent the four cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West. Each direction holds its own unique significance: North: Symbolizing wisdom, strength, and the guidance of elders. South: Representing growth, renewal, and youth. East: Associated with new beginnings, inspiration, and the rising sun. West: Reflecting introspection, maturity, and the setting sun. These directions remind us of the interconnectedness of all things and the balance required to navigate life. As we honor Native American communities this month, let us also take a moment to reflect on how we can carry forward their teachings of respect, unity, and understanding. Let’s commit to learning more, supporting Native voices, and acknowledging the deep cultural contributions that continue to shape our world. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #FourWindsstaffing #CulturalAwareness #NativeAmericanHistory #RespectAndUnity
