SMPS Atlanta

This month, SMPS Atlanta recognizes and celebrates Native American Heritage Month. We invite you to join us in exploring the diverse cultures that have played a vital role in shaping our nation. According to the 2020 US Census, nearly 4 million people identify as American Indians and Alaska Natives. Let's take this opportunity to honor the rich traditions, histories, languages, and significant contributions of Indigenous peoples. “When you know who you are, when your mission is clear, and you burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will, no cold can touch your heart; no deluge can dampen your purpose. You know that you are alive.” ― Chief Seattle, Native American leader. A great way to explore recent content by indigenous creators is checking out this CultureAlly list: https://lnkd.in/eaWcTGDb
