National Native American Heritage Month is celebrated each year in November. It is a time to celebrate the traditions, languages, and stories of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities and ensure their rich histories and contributions continue to thrive with each passing generation. This November and every month, we celebrate the culture and heritage of these remarkable Americans who deeply enrich the quality and character of our Nation. We celebrate Indian Country with its remarkable diversity of American Indian and Alaska Native cultures and peoples while remembering and honoring our veterans who have sacrificed so much to defend our Nation. This year’s theme at Interior is Celebrating Tribal Sovereignty and Identity. Tribal sovereignty ensures that any decisions about Tribes regarding their property and citizens are made with their participation and consent. The federal trust responsibility is a legal obligation under which the United States “has charged itself with moral obligations of the highest responsibility and trust” toward Indian tribes. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth Learn more: https://nuvi.me/ftau79

🍂🌟 In recognition of American Indian Heritage Month, and throughout all months of the year, it’s important to acknowledge the historical injustices of Native American people. And further, there is much more work to be done in demonstrating respect for the treaties signed with regards to land and resource rights, ensuring tribe’s involvement in decisions impacting their territories, returning or compensating lands that have been taken from Native American tribes, repatriating sacred objects and ancestral remains, currently housed in museums and collections, and fostering a comprehensive and accurate representation of Native American history and culture in educational curricula.

Our Friday Spotlight Goes To the: Native American Heritage Month 2023 November is National Native American Heritage Month. The U.S. Department of Labor celebrates the diverse culture and heritage of Tribal Nations and Indian people who deeply enrich the quality and character of our country. We also hope to use this month to highlight information that can lead to greater understanding and promote respect and equity. Throughout this country’s history, Tribal Nations and Indian people have experienced discrimination, inequity, cruelty, and violence. Even when faced with such adversity, Native Americans continued to protect their tradition and culture, support their community, and build for the future. Tribal Nations have exemplified courage and resilience. Today, there are over 500 Tribal Nations that make up the tapestry of governments across the country. Tribes exercise their sovereignty to deliver services and provide infrastructure to their citizens and adjacent communities. Tribal communities also serve as important economic and cultural hubs in the United States.

"I think it is very important to credit the names of the people who made the effort for history or to make their country. It's not about remembering them, it's about making our generations understand how we came this far." Deepak Perwani highlights the importance of embracing our shared history and cultural roots with India. - #history #acknowledgement #heritage #culturalroots #contributors #learningfromhistory #embracingourroots #efforts #country #credit #VCastOnline

📝 THE METHODIST MISSION AND FIJI'S INDIANS: 1879 - 1920 By Andrew Thornley, 1973 "Possibilities of the gravest danger lie in the fact that many hundreds of heathen men, differing in colour, in capabilities, in taste, in language, in aspirations, in beliefs, are flowing constantly into Fiji and are being brought into daily relationship with an aboriginal race, which has itself only recently stepped out of a cruel and barbarous heathenism." - The Reverend H. Worrall, Rewa Circuit Report, 1894 'In India, thousands of low-caste people will listen to the missionary's message, because of the social emancipation it involves; but in Fiji, the Bhangi (scavenger) and the Brahmin eat together, and the Bhangi may have a high-caste woman for his wife. This means that the low-caste Indian in Fiji will not consider the claims of Christianity on account of the freedom from social disabilities it may offer, as he would if in his native land' - A Visitor to Fiji, 1913.......!!🥥🌴 'The Fijian was a simple-minded man with a child's intellect .... There was strong moral resistance to the message but no mental opposition . . . . But the Christian Church in these Islands has an entirely different class to deal with in the Indian .... He is acknowledged to be one of the most subtle and acute thinkers the world has known .... Thus in addition to a moral resistance, we have to be prepared to face a mental one of the strongest and most unyielding sort.' Reverend Burton. DURING the forty years following the arrival of the Methodist missionaries in #Fiji in 1835, the Fijians responded to Christianity in a manner similar to that of the #Maoris of New Zealand — hostile resistance for the first decade followed by large numbers of conversions over the next five to ten years.
