Celebrating Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month, and with the Thanksgiving holiday around the corner, is an excellent opportunity for your family to learn more about the Native tribes and peoples who lived and still live locally in Colorado and to dispel myths about the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Lincoln Elementary sits on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), Tséstho’e (Cheyenne), and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux) Nations. Additionally, we acknowledge the 48 contemporary tribal nations historically tied to the lands that comprise what is now called Colorado. You can find a few stories about each tribe, as well as with additional resources to help you learn more, to connect with local native organizations, and create your own traditions after the jump.
