During the month of November, we pay tribute to the legacy of Native and Indigenous communities and their immense contributions in commemoration of Native American Heritage Month.

We recognize the enduring legacy of Native and Indigenous peoples whose cultures have withstood centuries of challenges, including the painful displacement and removal from their ancestral lands. This month, we celebrate and reflect on indigenous history and experiences in the ongoing journey toward healing for Native communities.

ULI remains committed to pursuing unrelenting efforts to shape the built environment toward diverse, equitable, inclusive communities for transformative impact. Join us as we read, watch, listen, and act towards these goals.
