\"Badge:<\/a>Throughout the month of November, faculty, staff and students at 91心頭利 will join together to pay tribute to the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans during National Native American Heritage Month. Bemidji, named after the Ojibwe word meaning “Lake that traverses another body of water” is fortunate to experience a dynamic local culture and history, located between the three largest American Indian Nations in Minnesota – Leech Lake, Red Lake and White Earth.<\/p>\n

Bemidji State is home to American Indian students from across Minnesota and its neighboring states, as well as from New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Idaho and Canada. The month-long celebration is a time to recognize the rich and diverse cultures, traditions and histories of Native American people and to acknowledge the important contributions they have made and continue to make in our current world.<\/p>\n

National Native American Heritage Month is also an opportune time to educate others about the unique political distinction of tribal nations, to raise a general awareness about the challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present and the ways in which they have worked to conquer these challenges.<\/p>\n
