NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH The purpose of National Native America Heritage Month is to honor the contributions Native Americans make to this country. Let’s listen to the words of Native American leaders… “Treat all men alike. All men were made by the same Great Spirit. They are all brothers.” Chief Joseph – Nez Perce “You must speak straight so that your words may go as sunlight into the heart.” Cochise, Chiricahua “We do not want riches, but we want to train our children right.” Chief Red Cloud, Sioux “Everything on the earth has a purpose and every person a mission.” Mourning Dove - Salish “Every man must make his own path.” Black Hawk, Sauk “Seek to make your life a service to your people.” Tecumseh, Shawnee Celebrate Native American Heritage Month this NOVEMBER
