Native American Heritage Month

Join us in celebrating Native American Heritage Month as we recognize and honor Native communities throughout the East Bay, the nation, and the world. The Park District strives to promote accurate and holistic depictions of Indigenous peoples in our public and school programs.

Indigenous peoples are closely connected to the land through distinct traditions, unique languages, and sophisticated knowledge systems. In the Bay Area, many individuals from the Ohlone, Bay Miwok, Delta Yokut, and many more groups, continue to live on this land practicing their culture and traditions to this day.

Equity and inclusion for Indigenous people is ongoing. Join us in celebrating Native American Heritage Month and the Indigenous people who continue to reside on this land, and have been here since time immemorial.
