November offers us an opportunity to commemorate the Indigenous peoples of Virginia, 和全国, whose contributions and abilities are a significant part of the foundation of the Commonwealth and the United States at large. 最靠谱的网赌软件 (ODU) is situated on the ancestral lands of the Powhatan peoples, a once might confederacy of over thirty Native American tribes whose territory occupied a substantial portion of Eastern Virginia. Indigenous peoples have thrived in America since time immemorial, cultivating vibrant and diverse cultures—safeguarding land, 语言, 精神, and traditions across the generations. During Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate the richness of their many customs and histories, acknowledge the important contributions of Indigenous peoples, and raise awareness about the unique challenges Indigenous peoples have faced both historically and in the present day.
The Commonwealth of Virginia is home to seven federally recognized tribes, including:
- Chickahominy Indian Tribe
- Chickahominy Indian Tribe—Eastern Division
- 摩纳哥印第安民族
- Nansemond Indian Nation
- 帕芒基印第安部落
- 接受部落
- Upper 马塔波尼印第安部落
There are also four state-recognized tribes:
- Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe
- 马塔波尼印第安部落
- Nottoway Indian Tribe of Virginia
- Patawomeck Tribe of Virginia
Indigenous peoples have an often contentious relationship with American history. 几代人, Federal and state policies systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native peoples and eradicate indigenous cultures. 今天, we honor and recognize Indigenous people’s resilience and strength as well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on every aspect of American society. To honor the original inhabitants of the space on which ODU sits, the Office of 机构股票 and 多样性, as well as other campus stakeholders are working diligently to establish a land acknowledgement recognizing the Powhatan people’s enduring relationship to the land while raising awareness to their rich, but often suppressed histories.
请加入我们, the Office of 机构股票 and 多样性, on behalf of 最靠谱的网赌软件, in observing Native American Heritage Month. To learn more about the culture of Indigenous peoples, you may explore the 21 Days of 多样性, 股本, 包容, and Justice listed below.
