This November, the UCSF Office of Opportunity and Outreach is proud to host the celebration of Native American Heritage Month (NAHM) at UCSF.
It is a time to honor and celebrate the rich history, culture, and connection to traditions, stories, languages, music, food, and more within the Indigenous community. However, we must honor and uplift the continuous contributions, leadership, and efforts of Indigenous peoples every day - locally, nationally, and globally. Indigenous Peoples make up approximately 6.2% of the global population across over 90 countries and 1.6% of the population in the United States (includes Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities).
As a land-grant institution, UCSF and the entire UC system sits on and benefits from land previously owned by tribal nations in California. It is our collective responsibility to acknowledge the land with which we sit on. Visit here to learn more about the Land Acknowledgment of UCSF.
UCSF welcomes all participants to our events. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this event because of a disability, please contact the point person named in the events calendar as soon as possible.
