    Great Ways To Honor Native American Vets

    Great Ways to Honor Native Veterans

    (StatePoint) Today, American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians (AIAN) serve in the U.S. military at one of the highest rates per capita of all population groups, according to the Smithsonian Institution. In fact, the AIAN veteran cohort served in the Pre-9/11 period of service in a higher percentage than veterans of other races (19.9 percent vs.

    Here are a few ways to honor the legacy and service of Native American veterans of the U.S. military.
    Learn the History
    Native Americans have served in every major U.S. war,and the history of their service during World War II is particularly significant, as Navajo, Comanche, Sioux and Hopi servicemen developed and memorized special codes based on their languages to send critical messages from the frontlines of battlefields in the Pacific, Europe and North Africa.

    Support Initiatives
    Organizations that promote appreciation and understanding of the identities and cultures of Indigenous Peoples, as well as honor the achievements and service of veterans, are helping shift the norm and serve as a model to others. Thankfully, many organizations and companies are already taking steps to honor Native American veterans in ways that tangibly improve lives and expand opportunities, such as through housing programs, educational scholarships and hiring initiatives.

    One example is Operation Tiny Home, a non-profit which provides apprentice training workshops for Native Americans to build high-quality, sustainable housing.
    Corporate action is also making an impact. In the case of Wells Fargo, initiatives include having dedicated team members focused on serving AIAN communities in the U.S. with products, services and financial education programs tailored to help tribal governments, tribal enterprises and tribal members succeed financially, as well as through hiring initiatives targeted at veterans through its Military Affairs Program.

    “Wells Fargo has been the most military friendly company I’ve ever worked for,” says Shanitra Foster, a Wells Fargo personal banker who is Navajo and served in the Army National Guard as a military police officer. “My team really supported me when I take time off for my drill weekends.”

    Visit a New Monument
    A visit to the U.S. capital has long held opportunities for learning about U.S. military history, and soon, those who make the trip will have a dedicated site where they can honor AIAN veterans across generations. In November 2020, The National Native American Veterans Memorial will be unveiled in Washington, D.C.

    Odd New Mexico Facts

    Wine

    By the late 19th century, New Mexico was the wine growing region in the United States, producing over a million gallons each year. These days, nearly 50 wineries dot the landscape, and many of the wines produced here are award-winning and well worth your time.

    We’re a smart bunch here in the Land of Enchantment. The state is home to more PhD holders per capita than any other state in the country.

    Denver might be the Mile High City, but it ain’t got nothing on Santa Fe. At 7,199 feet above sea level, our capital city — home to an unparalleled arts scene, killer cuisine, and a visual vibe you won’t find anywhere else in the US — is the highest in the nation.

    Capulin Volcano National Monument towers over the edge of the Great Plains in the northeastern corner of the state. An extinct cinder cone volcano, the formation once served as a landscape marker on the Santa Fe Trail. Today you can drive to the top of the 8,000ft cone for one seriously stunning view that takes in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado, in addition to New Mexico.
