Native American Heritage Month Quick Fact
Things that we might take for granted, like rubber, corn, kayaks, modern-day farming and even mouth wash, all find their roots in Native American design.
Native American Heritage Month quick Fact
In 2020, The Washington Redskins changed their name to The Washington Football team, dropping “Redskins” which is a derogatory term often used for those of Native American descent. The Cleveland Indians followed suit and are now known as the Cleveland Guardians.

NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH QUICK FACTS
In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which empowered the federal government to take Native-held land east of Mississippi and forcibly relocate Native people from their homes in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee to “Indian territory” in what is now Oklahoma.
The Trail of Tears was part of a series of forced displacements of approximately 60,000 Native Americans between 1830 and 1850. During that time, nearly 4,000 died of disease, exposure and malnutrition. To recognize and remember their history, you can walk parts of the Trail of Tears in Springfield, Missouri.

On Tuesday, the Service Learning class began a new tradition called “Tutor Tuesday.” Every Tuesday our great students will spend their class time working & mentoring our Little Longhorns down the way. Those kiddos were THRILLED to spend time with their “big buddies” and it became obvious that this is going to be a tradition that sticks!
