November is Native American & Alaska Native Heritage Month!
You can find more information about Native American Heritage at the button below. For 2023, The US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs has adopted the following theme: Celebrating Tribal Sovereignty and Identity. Please click here to access a list of resources with information about Native American & Alaska Native heritage in the United States and about the Lenape, the tribe that inhabited this region before European colonization (you’ll learn about the connection between the Lenape and names you'll know, like Kingsessing).
Throughout the month of November, members of the PCP DEI Task Force will work with members of the PCP community to create STP posts to celebrate Native American heritage and culture and to learn more about health disparities that exist in this population. Please send us suggestions for ideas of topics to explore in STP at the button below. Posted by Dr. Thomas. 11/6
