The UTA Native American Student Association will host events throughout November to celebrate Native American Heritage Month. <\/p>\n
Stephen Silva-Brave, Native American Student Association president, said Native American Heritage Month is celebrated to acknowledge and learn more about the people who first made up the U.S. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe different events have different purpose, but it\u2019s mostly just to let people know that we\u2019re here, we\u2019re part of your community,\u2019\u2019 Silva-Brave said. <\/p>\n
The events the Native American Student Association will be hosting are free and open to all. Silva-Brave also mentioned that anyone who wants to learn more about past and present Indigenous cultures should attend. <\/p>\n
\u201cThese are for everyone,\u201d he said. \u201cWe would love for non-Indigenous people to come as well.\u201d <\/p>\n
