Native American Heritage Month 2025

 

Empowering Native American Titans

Join your fellow Titans as we celebrate Native American Heritage Month! November is National Native American Heritage Month or also known as American Indian Heritage Month. Founded in 1990, this is a month to honor and celebrate the natives of America and their rich culture, history, and contribution to our society. Take this opportunity to learn more about the history of Native Americans and the struggles that many of them still face today. This is also a month for the Native American community to be proud of who they are, to be proud of their ancestors and all they have been through and accomplished, and the traditions and knowledge that have been preserved through generations of suppression. This is a month for every Titan, and every American, to learn about the original people of this country and their impact and presence to this day.

Cal State Fullerton sits on the ancestral lands of the Tongva/Kizh and Acjachemen people, formerly known as Hotuuknga.

Alcatraz Is Not an Island (2001): Documentary Film Screening and Discussion

Friday, November 14
2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m., CP-120

In November 1969, a multi-tribal group of Native American activists began the occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. Eventually joined by thousands of Native Americans, they claimed "Indian land" for the first time since the 1880s. The one-hour-long documentary, Alcatraz Is Not an Island (2001), tells the story of that occupation which lasted 19 months, interweaving archival footage and contemporary commentary to examine how this historic event altered US government Indian policy and programs, and changed the way Native Americans viewed themselves, their culture and their sovereign rights. Join us for a screening of this important and impactful film, and an engaging discussion afterwards.

Hosted by the Department of Secondary Education. Contact Dr. Nick Henning at nhenning@fullerton.edu if you have any questions.
