November is Native American Heritage Month

November is National American Indian Heritage Month in the United States. To celebrate, the Library will highlight some of the movies and books in our collection that spotlight the experience of Native American communities, both historical and current. Come check them out!

The Library of Congress-hosted website for Native American Heritage Month has information about events and information "paying tribute to the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans."

As we welcome you to the Cal Maritime Library, we acknowledge that we are on the traditional ancestral and historical lands of the Karkin Ohlone people. As guests on this land, we honor the original indigenous people, past, present, and future, for their centuries of stewardship and continued resilience. We commit to be good guests as we live, work, learn and play on this land. To learn more about the indigenous tribes of other areas, we encourage you to visit: https://native-land.ca.
