Honoring Native American Heritage Day

Today, the Milwaukee Equal Rights Commission recognizes and celebrates Native American Heritage Day, a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Native peoples in Milwaukee and across the nation.

Milwaukee is situated on the traditional homelands of the Potawatomi, Menominee, Ho-Chunk, Ojibwe, and other Indigenous nations, whose legacies remain integral to the fabric of our city. We stand in deep respect for their enduring resilience, wisdom, and cultural vibrancy.

Let us take this day to reflect on the importance of preserving Native traditions, elevating Native voices, and continuing efforts toward equity and justice for Indigenous communities. Together, we can build a future that honors the past while embracing the principles of inclusion and mutual respect.

Join us in celebrating Native American Heritage Day by learning about local Indigenous communities, supporting Native-owned businesses, and advocating for policies that uphold equal rights for all.
