Native American Heritage Month
In November, we celebrate Native American Heritage Month. The University of Colorado Boulder honors and recognizes the many contributions of Indigenous peoples in our state. In October 2020, CU System issued the official land acknowledgment statement.
"Acknowledging that we live in the homelands of Indigenous peoples recognizes the original stewards of these lands and their legacies. With this land acknowledgment, we celebrate the many contributions of Native peoples to the fields of medicine, mathematics, government and military service, arts, literature, engineering and more. We also recognize the sophisticated and intricate knowledge systems Indigenous peoples have developed in relationship to their lands."
CU Boulder acknowledges and is working to do more to improve and enhance engagement with Indigenous peoples and locals, locally and globally. Learn more about the historical events that established this commemorative month.
