National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month

By Southcentral Foundation Corporate Communications

Art, dance, and storytelling display the vibrancy of Alaska Native culture.

November marks National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the cultural traditions, history, and contributions of Alaska Native and American Indian people.

Community, culture, and language celebrate who we are, define our past, and guide the way forward. Art, dance, and storytelling display the vibrancy of Alaska Native culture, and our languages bring vitality and richness.

Join Southcentral Foundation, family, and friends for Culture Connects: American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month on Thursday, Nov. 7 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center. Enjoy Alaska Native dancers, healthy snacks, crafts, and more. Share your culture, wear your regalia, and celebrate with us.

As we celebrate, let us commit to honoring this rich cultural legacy not just for one month, but as a continuous effort to support and uplift Alaska Native and American Indian voices and stories throughout the year.
