Each November the United States observes National Native American Heritage Month. This is a time that celebrates Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities. By honoring the cultures, heritages, traditions, languages, and stories of these people we preserve their histories and vital contributions for future generations.
Rhode Island College is hosting events and opportunities to honor Native American Heritage Month. We hope you'll participate, learn, celebrate, and enjoy with us!
