Native American Heritage Month

Native American culture is deeply ingrained in the history of Southeastern Michigan, including the land the Metroparks now occupy. This Native American Heritage Month we encourage you to learn more about the heritage, culture and history of Indigenous peoples. To start, we compiled a list of resources you can read and watch that feature information on both local and national Native American history and culture. Explore the links below to learn more.
