Celebrating Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month—a time to celebrate the stories, traditions, and contributions of Native American and Alaska Native peoples. It’s an opportunity to learn about the first peoples of our region—the Nisenan, Miwok, Maidu, and Patwin Tribes—and the many ways Native culture continues to enrich our lives today. 

Learning Through Culture

At Child Action, we believe that when children and families learn about different cultures, they grow with curiosity, compassion, and respect. This month, families can celebrate by reading stories from Native authors, exploring Indigenous art, or attending local cultural events. 

Happy Native American Heritage Month—let’s honor the past and celebrate

the future, together.
