Native American Heritage Month

Presented by the Thrive Center

Here at Loyola, November is when we celebrate Native American Heritage Month. It’s important to recognize this cultural heritage because it has been often undermined by other celebrations. In this country, we celebrate the accidental “discovery” of the Americas, but often fail to address those indigenous people that inhabited this land prior to colonization. All throughout history, there have been laws passed that infringe upon the rights of Native Americans. It is essential to become more educated about the frequently overlooked history of Native Americans in this nation, and what can be done to catalyze liberation. This month, we are highlighting different opportunities offered here at Loyola, as well as in the greater Baltimore City area to learn, engage, and immerse yourself in as we recognize and celebrate Native American heritage.
