Working with American Indian and Alaska Native Children, Youth, and Families

November is Native American Heritage Month, or as it is commonly referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. The month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. Heritage Month is also an opportune time to educate ourselves about tribes, to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges. Find below some resources that can potentially complement and/or strengthen your work with American Indian and Alaska Native children/youth, and their families.
