MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
November is National Native American Heritage Month, and things are abuzz at the AISC. (Click here to read President Obama's Proclamation.) Accordingly, there are many exciting events planned -- on and off campus -- to recognize the continent's original inhabitants. From celebrations with the Mayor at City Hall to Bird Singers performing at the UCLA campus to the Indian Arts Marketplace at the Autry, November is filled with opportunities to engage with the Native American community in the Los Angeles area. There are also many exciting events coming up in 2011, so please mark your calendars. For the most up-to-date information, please check the 'Events' section of our website, which is updated daily. We hope you are having a lovely fall and get a chance to take advantage of some of the wonderful events scheduled for Native American Heritage Month. Megwetch (thank you) Angela R. Riley |
