November is Alaska Native, Native American Heritage Month.
Celebrate with ASD and The ASD Indigenous Education Department throughout November as we honor and share stories about the history, traditions, and culture of our Indigenous people for Alaska Native, Native American Heritage Month!
Follow us all November long as we share more engaging family activities that bring awareness to and celebrate Alaska's First Peoples.
Out of the 574 federally recognized Native tribes and tribal groups in the United States, 231 of those are in Alaska. It is important to also acknowledge the many tribes that are not federally recognized.
Events to note this month:
Nov. 18 is Rock your Mocs day. The Indigenous Education Department invites you to participate in this nationwide event. Roc your Mocs Day is a positive opportunity to be united and celebrate tribal individuality by wearing moccasins.
