Native November promotional image
Reminder: Native November
This Native November, we embrace the theme 'Live the Teachings as We Are Meant To.' The theme calls us to remember that ancestral knowledge is not only to be told—it's to be lived. Even as we learn and grow far from our homelands, the values passed down through generations continue to guide how we care for one another, our communities, and the Earth. Join the Indigenous Student Center and Indigenous Student Center Coalition this November as we honor these teachings and reflect on how we carry them forward for future generations. #UWNativeNovember
