Native American Heritage Month to feature flag raising, other highlights in November
The Office of Multicultural Student Life, American Indian Student Organization (AISO) and Wabanaki Center collaborate annually to recognize Native American Heritage Month at the University of Maine with a variety of events throughout November.
Native American Heritage Month traditionally recognizes and celebrates the extraordinary contributions and accomplishments of First Nations and indigenous communities.
At UMaine, the beginning of the month will be marked with the second annual Penobscot flag raising on the Mall at noon on Nov. 1.
Other highlights include the annual Multicultural Thanksgiving, 5–7 p.m. Nov. 15 in the North Pod of the Memorial Union, and the AISO’s Social event, 1–2 p.m. Nov. 30 in the Bangor Room of the Memorial Union.
There also will be crafts and art workshops, lunch and learn events, and presentations throughout the month.
