Cultural Heritage Celebrations for the Month of November
During our cultural celebrations for the month of November, we at BMMS would like to honor a significant person or event that has shaped each of these distinctive areas of focus. We hope to inspire everyone to challenge themselves to learn something new this month in an effort to increase our knowledge and understanding of culture and come from all of the diverse members of our school community.
Indigenous/Native American History Month
“Every November, the United States pays tribute to the cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous Americans during Native American Heritage Month.
The observance originated in the early 20th century when Native American advocate Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca Indian, urged the Boy Scouts of America to recognize a day for the "First Americans." Later, in 1990, President George H.W. Bush declared November as National American Indian Heritage Month.
Our Native American population, from the Iroquois Confederacy in the Northeast to the Apache and Navajo in the Southwest, and the Inuit in the far North, encompasses more than 500 recognized tribes, each with unique cultures and languages.
Native Americans have made remarkable contributions to society. Activists like Elouise Cobell, who fought for Native American rights in land and resource management, and Wilma Mankiller, the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, exemplify the determination and leadership within Native American communities.”
