NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
Join us in honoring Native American Heritage Month! This November, we celebrate cultures, history and contributions of Native peoples – and we highlight our work with these communities.
One way we honor Native communities in our work is by growing culturally responsive mental health support – like YouthLine Warm Springs satellite center.
The enduring legacy of colonization, displacement, and family separation continue to impact Native communities’ wellness and create barriers to accessing support. Tribal communities are disproportionately impacted by suicide and substance use. Our tribal partners often say, “Culture is Prevention, is Treatment, is Wellness, is Life” – with the belief that those who are connected to community and traditional practices can heal together.
This month, learn more about mental health in Native communities as we share resources and highlight our community partnerships.
Support is Available
Advocating for culturally responsive healthcare, including mental health access and expertise, is imperative to improve outcomes in our communities. Lines for Life’s Equity programs partner with community organizations to provide training and support and create networks of culturally responsive services throughout Oregon and beyond.

NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
We observe Native American Heritage Month in November to recognize the achievements and contributions of Native Americans.
SOME HISTORY…
The first American Indian Day in a state was declared on the second Saturday in May 1916 by the governor of New York. Several states celebrate the fourth Friday in September. Starting in 2014, many other cities and states adopted the holiday.
In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.” Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including “Native American Heritage Month” and “National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month”) have been issued each year since 1994.
A series, Alter-NATIVE: Kitchen, is an independent series to see how three Native chefs connect cooking to their own histories!
Watch as they teach mouth-watering delicacies!
The team at the National Runaway Safeline is there for you and offers a range of support services 24/7.
