November marks the beginning of Native American Heritage Month, a month-long celebration of the histories, cultures, contributions, and achievements of Native Americans to the United States.
In 2021, the AFA Executive Board passed a resolution establishing our Heritage Month program and pin, recognizing Native American Flight Attendants and their contributions and influence on the history, culture, and achievements. Friday, November 28th, is Native American Heritage Day.
We have grounded our Diversity and Inclusion pins around color and symbols. This pin includes the Native American sun symbol in gold surrounded by the color blue to represent where Flight Attendants spend our time, in the sky.
During this Month, Local Councils will distribute the AFA Native American Heritage Pin. You are encouraged to pick up this pin and wear it in Solidarity as we work together to accomplish diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workforce.
In addition to wearing your pin, we invite you to share your photos and tell us why Native American Heritage Month is significant to you. If you’d like to honor a flying partner or submit your own photo and story, please send your info to Humanrights@unitedafa.org.
