Native American Heritage Month Kickoff Celebration
A few SSPPS faculty and staff gathered with several other UC San Diego departments on November 3rd for the Native American Heritage Month Kickoff Luncheon hosted by the Intertribal Resource Center. The event featured Soaring Eagles Dance Group and Green River Drum, a keynote address by Miss Kumeyaay Nation Priscilla Ortiz-LaChappa (Iipay nation of Santa Ysabel), and more. A big thanks to Dean Best for making SSPPS a sponsor of this event and for inviting faculty and staff to participate, celebrate, and continue to learn about the achievements and contributions of Native American people and tribes.
