November being Native American Heritage Month, today it comes to a close. But it has been a great month. I was so surprised how involved UNC worked with the American Indian Center (AIC) and Carolina Indian Circle (CIC) to hold American Indian events, such as lectures, movie screenings, pit singings, etc., throughout the month. I was also glad to be apart of the celebration when my fraternity, Phi Sigma Nu, held an open discussion concerning the topics of federal recognization, race relations, and healthcare amoung Native Americans. I attended some other lectures and I was greatly surprised by the turn out of people. I think as my first year at UNC celebrating Native American Heritage Month was a big success. I cannot wait until next year.
