Celebrating Native American Heritage Month
by: Adrienne Fuehrer, USC Upstate Library Intern
The USC Upstate Library celebrates Native American Heritage Month with the creation of a new materials display. The titles honor the lived experiences of those cultures being represented. Students are encouraged to learn about indigenous history and culture. This collection focuses and emphasizes celebrating indigenous achievements, artwork, and stories, especially those from territories in and near the Carolinas.
