November in the United States is a month rich with celebrations and observances that honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of diverse communities. The month is marked by Native American Heritage Month, a time to recognize the profound impact Native American peoples have had on the nation’s past and present. Celebrate and learn about Native American Heritage Month with these resources.
In addition, Veterans Day on November 11 honors those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, with parades, memorial services, and community events taking place nationwide. Many communities celebrate with events that promote understanding of veterans' diverse backgrounds, showcasing contributions from minority veterans and addressing issues of equity and support.
Other cultural events in November include Diwali celebrations in communities with large South Asian populations, often featuring festivals of lights, fireworks, and cultural performances. Transgender Awareness Week from November 13 - 19, is a week of events, storytelling, and advocacy leading up to Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20, aimed at raising awareness of transgender issues and addressing discrimination and violence faced by the transgender community. Finally, we have Thanksgiving on November 28, a holiday that continues to be a day for Americans to gather for a day of feasting, football, and family. Join us as we celebrate these impactful observances across the NSU community.
