San Diego Unified raises Kumeyaay Band flag to honor Native American Heritage Month

Native American community members raised a flag honoring the Kumeyaay Nation at San Diego Unified's headquarters Friday for the first time in the school district's history. The flag was raised to commemorate Native American Heritage Month, which takes place during November. Nov. 24 will be Native American Heritage Day.

The district has also raised flags for LGBT pride, transgender pride, Black Lives Matter, Juneteenth and 'Latinx/e' Heritage Month, which took place from September to October. 'Native American people, history, and culture is core to the story of the United States, being the first people to live and steward this land and having profoundly shaped our country's character and our cultural heritage,' the San Diego Unified School Board stated in a resolution it approved last month.
