The Month of November

"In 1990, Congress designated the month of November as Native American Heritage Month, in recognition of the history, culture, and traditions of the nation's Indigenous peoples. It had first been proposed by physicist Jerry C. Elliott-High Eagle, who pushed for Native American Awareness Week legislation during the nation's bicentennial in 1976.

This week, we're exploring stories from South Florida's Indigenous peoples and how they fought to remain in their ancestral homeland."

My note: I can't always DO something in regard to a cause I believe in but I CAN always educate myself further and that is what I plan to do. This notice, above, was from pbs American Experience and I will watch that program to honor the Indigenous People of America, the original people. I hope you will too. wrightj45@yahoo.com
