10 Ways to Introduce Your Kids to American Indian Heritage

In November, we celebrate American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. It's a wonderful time to honor the rich cultures and traditions, the foodways and other dimensions to the indigenous peoples who helped shape the United States. We can get our kids involved, too, by helping them learn about native heritage through museum visits and exploration of historic lands. Following current events impacting tribes and learning about modern-day Native Americans — like Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as the Secretary of the Interior for the United States — can continue throughout the year.
