Helping People Help the Land

American Indian Heritage Month Poster

November is Alaska Native and American Indian Heritage Month

Since 1991, as part of Alaska Native and American Indian Heritage Month each November, NRCS sponsors a poster contest to help celebrate and honor American Indian heritage.  The 2009 poster, with the theme "Our Land, Our Animals, Our People, We are One," was selected from an NRCS Alaska art contest. Visit the NRCS Michigan Web page for Anishinaabek Communities to learn more about resources available to American Indians in Michigan and how to get a copy of the poster.
