What is Native American Heritage Month?

This is a time to honor our ancestors, recognize the histories and movements that brought us here, and celebrate the resilience and visibility of Native peoples today.

At CSVANW, NAHM reflects our mission to stop violence against Native women and children, our vision of thriving and safe Native communities, and our values of kinship, culture, inclusiveness, innovation, and healing.

Voices of Yesterday, Visionaries of Today

This year, CSVANW’s NAHM campaign is guided by the theme “Voices of Yesterday, Visionaries of Today.”

Native American heritage is not a static chapter in a history book. Instead, it is a living, evolving legacy where wisdom of the past directly fuels the vision, strength, and progress of the present. By using storytelling as a method of resiliency, we honor the enduring legacy and forward-looking spirit of Indigenous peoples.

CSVANW’s core message is clear: For 30 years, CSVANW has stood with survivors, families, and Tribal Nations to break cycles of violence and honor the strength of our ancestors.

This November, we uplift Native voices, protect our relatives, and preserve our future through culture, kinship, and healing. Throughout November, CSVANW will use both digital and community-based tactics to inspire action and engagement. Online, we will share staff and youth storytelling, educational carousels, and Rock Your Mocs Week activities.

In the community, we will table at events, grow membership, and uplift organizational partnerships. Together, these efforts build awareness, raise support, and sustain survivor-centered, culturally rooted advocacy. Native American Heritage Month is more than recognition; it is a call to protect our relatives and preserve our future.

Join us this November by attending events, becoming a member, and supporting CSVANW’s work to ensure Native voices, traditions, and movements remain central to our collective healing and sovereignty.
