Happy #NationalNativeAmericanHeritageMonth! ?? Each year, November is dedicated to commemorating the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of the Native peoples of the 600+ Indigenous nations in North America. Fun fact: The first "American Indian Day" was celebrated in May 1916 in New York when Red Fox James, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, rode on horseback to get endorsements for the holiday from 24 state governments! Memphis and the state of Tennessee are located in the historic homeland of the Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Quapaw nations. Through colonial violence and dispossession, these communities were forced off their homelands and into Oklahoma, where the current boundaries of each nation are drawn. Take time this month to learn about Native heritage in the resources listed below: Native RITES, a Memphis-based organization for Indigenous people in the Midsouth/Southeast: ntvrites.org Films, documentaries, and music from Chickasaw Nation: https://lnkd.in/gcfHnEY8 Learn about the culture of the Quapaw people: https://lnkd.in/gZW9Cem2 Learn about the culture of the Choctaw people: https://lnkd.in/gEqCPBwF [Photo courtesy of Lance Cheung: Chickasaw Nation Dancers from Oklahoma, perform Four Corners Dance during the Poarch Band of Creek Indians’ Southeastern Indian Festival on Thursday, April 3, 2014 near Atmore, Alabama.] #NativeHeritageMonth2024
