MARTIN’S Celebrates American Indian Heritage Month

MARTIN’S is pleased to promote awareness of and appreciation for the history and culture of American Indians and Alaska Natives during National American Indian Heritage Month. This month is dedicated to recognizing the intertribal cultures, the events and lifeways, the designs and achievements of American Indians and Alaska Natives. 

As proclaimed by President George W. Bush, the month of November is National American Indian Heritage Month. Activities and programs all month long will highlight the roles of American Indians and Alaska Natives and their part in our nation's history. With the construction of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, comes the chance to educate all Americans about their culture. This month serves as a reminder to recognize the efforts, and most importantly the struggles, of Native Americans.

Regardless of the how and why, it still stands that people like Sakajawea and her contribution to the 'Voyage of Discovery' led by Lewis and Clark, and the Navajo Code talkers helped our nation and the allies secure a victory in World War II. Our government is working to maintain the legacy of American Indians and Alaskan Natives by preserving irreplaceable languages, cultural traditions, and continuing to honor tribal sovereignty. During the month of November, there will be several programs celebrating the Native American culture. Join in and learn something new about an ancient, but enduring, society. Read more >>>
