The County Board of Supervisors Tuesday officially proclaimed November as Native American Heritage Month.
The board also asked the County CEO and the Department of Arts and Culture to determine the feasibility of establishing an Office of Tribal Affairs in the 2025-26 budget.
“This month serves not only as a celebration but also as a vital opportunity for education, reflection, and action,” according to a motion introduced by Supervisors Hilda Solis and Lindsey Horvath. “… By recognizing their narratives, we bring attention to the rich tapestry of cultural practices, languages, and wisdom that have shaped our nation.”
Los Angeles is home to numerous First Peoples, including the Tongva, Tataviam, Serrano, Kizh, and Chumash, as well as the area’s American Indian and Alaska Native population, with members from more than 200 tribes, according to the motion.
“By designating this month, we honor the resilience and creativity of Native Americans who have enriched our society through their art, leadership, and cultural practices.”
