The Diversity Digest

Celebrating Native American Heritage


November is Native American Heritage Month. At UCLA it is important to recognize indigenous peoples as the original caretakers of the land that our campus sits on, but we must also acknowledge that indigenous peoples continue to exist in these places today and disrupt narratives that place indigenous peoples as concepts of the past. This week's digest is in honor of Native Bruins, past, present and emerging.
