November: Native American Heritage Month A note from Elevate Navajo and former VP of the Navajo Nation, Myron Lizer: As we start the month of November, Elevate USA and Elevate Navajo wish to honor our First Nations People of America by putting forth a national call to not only observe November as Native American Heritage Month but also to give thanks for The People of this Land, North America (or Turtle Island as the Host People of this great nation call it). Native Americans are still here, and their presence is powerful! Together, let us celebrate the traditions, languages and stories of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities. However, that is something that we all do everyday, for everyday is a good day to be indigenous/Native. There are generations of strong and amazing native people, and resilience is part of our story, so we also celebrate the healing and peace that all indigenous people have been striving towards since the very beginning. Join us in celebrating Native America’s remarkable heritage. So, wherever you call home, take some time to learn about the tribes that are native to your region or state. From the rich cultural diversity to the many languages our Native American brothers and sisters speak, we are grateful for our place in these times. On behalf of Elevate Navajo, and Myron Lizer (former VP of the Navajo Nation), T’ádii kǫǫ honiidlǫ. We are still here. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
