MassLive is celebrating Native American Heritage Month by asking readers to nominate leaders from Indigenous backgrounds in Massachusetts who are making a mark in areas such as business, art, music, politics, advocacy, activism, or education. Started in 1915 as a way to celebrate Native Americans, Native American Heritage Month was officially recognized by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. Since then, it has been celebrated each year in November with variations on the name. MassLive regularly features leaders from various communities and is now seeking nominations for Indigenous leaders in Massachusetts. Readers can submit nominations by filling out a form on the MassLive website. The goal is to highlight individuals who are making a difference in their communities and contributing to the diversity and richness of Indigenous heritage in Massachusetts. This initiative is part of MassLive’s commitment to recognizing leaders from all backgrounds and celebrating the diversity of voices in the community. Nominations are being accepted throughout the month, and readers are encouraged to participate in the celebration of Native American Heritage Month by recognizing Indigenous leaders in Massachusetts.
