Native American Heritage Month is observed in November of every year. This month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. This heritage month is a great time for schools to educate students about tribes, raise awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced in the past and present time, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges.
Broward County Public Schools held a special presentation in recognition in support of Native American Heritage Month at the School Board meeting held on November 1, 2016. Click Here to view the Native American Heritage Month School Board Special Presentation.
