Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month. With a long history, rich culture, and more than 300 spoken languages, the wisdom of the Native American tribes has been passed down through the centuries.

Check out this insightful proverb:

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. - Cherokee tribe

Chicago Trip

On October 23, 2009 the Cultural Resource Center sponsored a trip to Chicago, IL. 19 students and one advisor traveled to North Park University to attend a Student Diversity Leadership Conference. The theme for this conference was, "What does it mean to understand human differences?" One of the aims of the conference was to provide a forum for students to learn how to use their knowledge & skills to be agents of change on their perspective campuses.

Along with attending the conference, we had several cultural excursions. We ate lunch in Albany Park, traveled to the Dusable museum of African-American History, & the Holocaust museum. We also experienced getting lost in Chicago and navigating through the heavy traffic.

Here is what some of the students said about our trip:

"Diversity is created for a purpose, it is not an accident. Therefore, it is essential that diversity is acknowledged by everyone." [God does not make mistakes!] - Priscilla Ahn

.

"The best part I liked was that diversity is god's will"

.

"I think that we should have some sort of presentation about how diversity is a mandate from God. I think if more people looked at diversity from that perspective, then our multicultural associations on campus may have a little more support from the student body."
