American Indian/Alaska Native Heritage Month



November Is American Indian/Alaska Native Heritage Month

From the Aleutian Islands to the Florida Everglades, American Indians and Alaska Natives have contributed immensely to our country's heritage. During National Native American Heritage Month, we commemorate their enduring achievements and reaffirm the vital role American Indians and Alaska Natives play in enriching the character of our Nation.
For more information, see the White House, Presidential Proclamation National Native American Heritage Month, 2011.

I will be the keynote presenter at the AI/AN Heritage Month event at CDC in Atlanta on November 12.

More good PR for our MPH Program!
