Happy November!
Fall is filled with busy moments and unseen relationships that create the hidden stories of life.
This month’s Heritage Highlight shares how First Nations people connected with their land through language and food.
The Heritage Highlight and Spotlight Activities help us understand our interdependence with others in the world that sustains us.
With art and poetry, we can take a moment of gratitude for nature and express our wonderment for how we experience it.

Native American Heritage Month was first officially recognized by the United States in 1990, over 70 years after the request was made. The US federal government acknowledges 684 Native American tribes and tribal nations.
Lenape people lived in the area that is now Philadelphia for over 6,000 years. In 1682, William Penn and Chief Tamanend established a Treaty of Friendship between Quaker settlers and Lenape. After Penn’s death, his sons did not uphold this original agreement, causing many Lenape to hide their identity or leave the area. Pennsylvania currently does not officially recognize any Native American tribes.
