Erasing Native People Is Just Another Form of Racism—On Thanksgiving or Any Other Day

Regardless of how you choose to spend Thanksgiving, remember that you are doing so on Native land.

Native American Heritage Month: Learn About Wisconsin’s Native Nations

While Native American Heritage Month is a time to celebrate Native people and communities, we must honor the traditions of tribal communities every day of the year.
