NC State will observe Native American Heritage Month during the month of November with events highlighting the theme of “resilience.” Multicultural Student Affairs invites those who wish to learn about Native American culture, or simply to enjoy, to attend the celebrations and workshops.
Student organizers chose this year’s theme to reflect the “ineffable quality that allows people to go through great adversity and to come back stronger than ever,” explained junior Amberlina Alston, a psychology major from Durham, North Carolina who is a Lumbee. “This resonates with us because, throughout centuries of mistreatment and colonization, our Native cultures are still alive and well.” |
