November 9-16, 2019 - Rock Your Mocs Week Heritage University students, faculty and staff are invited to wear moccasins expressing tribal identity between November 9 and 16 as a way to stand together celebrating Indigenous traditions and culture around the world.

The American Indigenous Business Leaders (AIBL) Chapter of Heritage University will present a Native Round Dance outside the Arts and Sciences Center. A round dance features a group of hand drummers singing traditional songs while people gather around the drummers in a friendship dance. This is called a social dance among Native people.

  Explore art as a way to make connections to your cultural roots and personal beliefs. Participants will create a personal portable “nicho”—using scrap paper, ephemera and small objects to create a talisman “charged” with personal symbols.
