Indian Health Service Team:
The Indian Health Service is excited to celebrate Native American Heritage Month in November. This year’s theme, “Celebrating Tribal Sovereignty and Identity,” presents an opportunity to educate the public about the proud history of Indigenous people in America, and to honor the rich and diverse tribal cultures that continue to thrive throughout Indian Country. As we celebrate our past, it is also important to recognize the present and future. American Indians and Alaska Natives are a proud and resilient people, and we will continue to honor our history and highlight rich traditions that have been passed down through generations.
On Wednesday, the IHS Diversity Management and Equal Employment Opportunity team presented a virtual event, “Tribal Nations Soaring to New Heights,” in honor of Native American Heritage Month. I’d like to express my sincere appreciation to our distinguished guest speaker, United States Treasurer Marilynn “Lynn” Malerba, for her invaluable remarks and support of this event. The virtual event was also combined with our quarterly IHS Employee Call. If you were unable to join us on Wednesday, you can watch the recording on the IHS Intranet or YouTube channel.
