Today is Indigenous People’s Day. A partial message from President Biden: "On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor Indigenous peoples’ strength, courage, and resilience. We celebrate the vast contributions of Indigenous communities to the world. And we recommit to respecting Tribal sovereignty and self-determination and working to usher in a new era of our Nation-to-Nation relationships." "On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize that it is hard work to heal the wrongs of the past and to change course and move forward, but together, nothing is beyond our capacity. May we take pride in the progress we have made to establish a new era of Tribal sovereignty and Indigenous self-determination — one grounded in dignity, respect, and friendship." But let us not forget: we are Indigenous people every single day. Each of us carries the strength of our heritage and the stories of our people within us. We have the power to celebrate ourselves, our cultures, and our way of life every day, not just today. It is a day to honor how we live daily and seasonally. It is how we incorporate that into our homes, relationships, food, how we build our community and school with our time honored values. Knowledge of Language Sharing Respect for Others Respect for Elders Cooperation Love for Children Hard Work Avoidance of Conflict Respect for Nature Spirituality Humor Knowledge of Family Tree Family Roles Hunter Success Domestic Skills Humility Responsibility to our Tribe We honor Indigenous peoples’ strength, courage, and resilience. And we respect Tribal sovereignty and self determination and working to usher in a new era of our people here in White Mountain. As we reflect on our rich history, let’s also open our hearts to one another. Let kindness and joy flow throughout our school. Support one another, share stories, and embrace the beauty of our diverse cultures. Together, let’s uplift each other and recognize that our identity is a source of strength and pride.

White Mountain School has two open seats on our AEC. Please consider running for one of our spots. If interested, please visit our office to sign an Affidavit of Candidacy. Elections will be held October 1.

Congratulations to the first of our Students and Staff members of the month! GO WOLVES!
