?? For Native American Heritage Month, let’s turn attention to advocacy. Supporting Indigenous rights and causes is a way to ensure equity and justice for Indigenous communities. Research current issues, from land rights to environmental conservation, and find ways to lend your support. ??

Consider a donation, sharing their work, or attending an event. These efforts make a tangible difference and honor Indigenous resilience and contributions. Lux team member, Dr. Jamie Muskopf, DSW, CKM, invites Indigenous people and allies to learn more about Purple Mai?a Foundation, an organization on a mission to educate and empower culturally engaged, community-oriented, technology makers and problem solvers in Hawai’i.

?? To truly honor Native American Heritage Month, let’s center Indigenous voices. Native communities have a wealth of stories, wisdom, and insights to share. By engaging with Indigenous-led podcasts, books, blogs, and media outlets, we can expand our understanding and appreciation of their contributions. ?? Consider following Indigenous creators, authors, and educators on LinkedIn and beyond. Amplify their work by sharing their content, discussing their ideas, and attending virtual events they host. Representation matters, and our support can elevate these powerful voices. Lux team member, Helen Chacon, recommends following Dr. Ofelia Zepeda, MLIS, Poet and Regents' Professor of Tohono O'odham Language and Linguistics at the University of Arizona. Dr. Zepeda is the co-founder of the American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI) and is the author of two books of poetry, OCEAN POWER : POEMS FROM THE DESERT, AND JEWED 'I-HOI/EARTH MOVEMENTS. ??

?? Happy World Mental Health Day! ?? At Lux, we’re committed to fostering a healthy and balanced work environment—and mental well-being is at the heart of it. To encourage our team to stay refreshed, energized, and happy, we’ve launched our Lux Steps Challenge!
