From Salmonberry Harvests to Traditional Tattoos, Native American Culture Is Spotlighted in November
Native artists and community leaders are using cultural practices to rebuild identity, teach youth and protect tribal traditions.
- On Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, Muscogee Nation citizen Hodokii Johnson hand-poked three brown lines on Kristin Gentry's fingers in Oklahoma City, viewing the practice as sacred work to reclaim traditions suppressed by colonization.
- Following Typhoon Halong, families in Kipnuk, Alaska, recently practiced subsistence gathering after the storm damaged 90% of village buildings; the Paul family harvested berries this summer, reconnecting with cultural traditions.
- Johnson said, "So much of the tattoo tradition that we had has since been weeded out through the efforts of colonization." They have worked with Inchunwa, a project dedicated to healing through traditional southeastern U.S. tattoos.
- The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Council unanimously passed a resolution this year granting legal rights to the river known as Longperson, an effort led by the NAIWA Daughters, girls ages 10 to 17.
- Artist Fawn Douglas showcases Indigenous art at the new Wai Gallery in Las Vegas, which opened ahead of National Native American Heritage Month to dismantle stereotypes about Native American and Alaska Native cultures.
