In November, we recognize Native American Heritage Month. We honor the values of Indigenous peoples in how we take care of the earth and those who inhabit it. We uphold this commitment in November, and throughout the entire year.? . . . . #TriMedia #Engineering #EnvironmentalEngineering #HealthAndSafety #IndustrialHygiene #IH #Safety #GIS #Surveying #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #NativeAmericanOwned #ISBEE
November is Native American Heritage Month. What does it celebrate? Native American Heritage Month honors the traditions and diverse cultures of Indigenous peoples while recognizing the importance of keeping these traditions and stories alive. Crucial to this is keeping these stories visible for others to see. Recently, the City of Marquette unveiled the Seven Grandfather Teachings sculpture in Marquette created by Anishinaabe sculptor Jason Quigno. His sculpture is a physical embodiment of values that have been passed along for generations – love, respect, honesty, bravery, truth, humility, and wisdom. These values, no matter who you are or what your background is, are intrinsic–our human nature. I’m proud to see the City honor these teachings publicly, both as a business partner and a resident of the community. These values are ones I strive to lead in my life, and lead with as a Native American Owned Small Business owner whose purpose is to help take care of the land and those who live on it. November is an opportune time to reflect on the values of traditions that Indigenous people honor, but that shouldn’t end when the month is over. These values guide us in our work and lives in the past, present, and future. #TriMedia #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #ISBEE Photo credit to Marquette Compass ??
