Intro

This blog is a personal service project for school. My project is going to be on Native American cultural preservation. The preservation of the many cultures of the Native Americans is crucial for modern Americans to understand the roots of our country. To lose the culture and history of the Native Americans is to lose a piece of ourselves, as a singular American people we would lose a part of our heritage, not only the people of Indian descent. This is an issue that affects everyone.

I hope with this blog I can spread information and resources to meet the end of helping to preserve this vast and diverse culture.

The indigenous peoples of North America -- the First Americans -- have woven rich and diverse threads into the tapestry of our Nation's heritage. Throughout their long history on this great land, they have faced moments of profound triumph and tragedy alike. During National Native American Heritage Month, we recognize their many accomplishments, contributions, and sacrifices, and we pay tribute to their participation in all aspects of American society.
