In 1990, Congress passed a joint resolution signed into law by President George W. Bush, designating November as the first National American Indian Heritage Month (also known as Native American Indian Month). During Native American Heritage Month, we should honor not only the Indigenous history makers who’ve left a lasting legacy but also those who continue to shape our culture, govern their communities, and uphold our society. Native Americans communicate their dance, music, crafts, and customs with others in several ways. Later this month, the Multicultural Club will present dream catchers to teachers to thank you for supporting Native American Month. The Native Americans believed the nighttime air was full of pleasant and sour dreams, so dream catchers were essential for protecting sleepers, especially young ones, from bad dreams, nightmares, and evil spirits. Native American culture has a plethora of customs and traditions that are both complex and unique. Brandon High will continue to explore these customs that make up the culture. As a school, we will continue to support all cultures that have shaped us.
