On December 10th, we unite globally to reaffirm the universal rights and freedoms that belong to every individual. This year’s theme, “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now,” reminds us that protecting human rights is not just about the past or the future—it’s about action today.

Native Americans have the highest per capita military service rate of any ethnic group. While reasons for serving vary, common themes such as honor, tradition & duty emerge. We offer thanks to the N.A. women who choose to serve a nation that violated their rights & communities.

Native Americans face unique challenges shaped by history, identity, and sovereignty. From debates on blood quantum to Freedmen recognition and the impact of the affirmative action ruling, advocacy is complex. #WCAPS #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
