SUPER BOWL LVII: NATIVE AMERICAN ARTIST “LA MORENA” CHOSEN AS NFL’S MARQUEE ARTIST
Native American artist Lucinda ‘La Morena’ Hinojos was selected by the National Football League as the marquee artist for Superbowl LVII. Her design, based on Ohn Akimel O’odham Jeved land in Phoenix, was unveiled in early January and features the White Tank Mountains reflected in the traditional Vince Lombardi trophy, surrounded by the fancy shawl and Azteca dancers, basket, hummingbirds, and cactus. The dancers reflect the 22 tribes in her area, the basket represent the land, and the hummingbirds signify messengers.

Asian-Pacific Islander Committee Statement regarding the recent mass shootings
The Lunar New Year is a time for family, gatherings, and celebrations. We are deeply saddened by the news of two mass shootings in the United States that have ended the lives of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters. Our hearts go out to the Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay communities, to the families directly impacted by these tragic events, and to all those affected by gun violence. Everyone deserves to feel safe and live in peace. This is why we reiterate our support for reasonable gun control and background checks. We demand that lawmakers work together, just like they did during the first mass killings in the Asian community at the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton when lawmakers came together to ban assault rifles. We demand lawmakers do this again and make it permanent. Enough is enough. We must have the courage to act.

What you can do to understand and celebrate our Native American heritage
November is an opportunity to grow our understanding of Native culture, traditions, and how historical traumas like colonization and genocide have impacted Native peoples throughout history—and still do today.
Though Native Americans make up about 2.5% of the total U.S. population, their history and contributions are of critical importance to the nation’s history. Unfortunately, much of it has been forgotten or overlooked.
Here are some easy and interesting activities you might explore:

Our Native American Committee Works to Create Tomorrow’s Heritage for California’s Indigenous People
November is Native American Heritage Month! This annual month-long celebration is an opportunity to come together to honor and celebrate the culture, traditions, history, and contributions of American Indians and Alaskan Natives.
While it’s important to understand the importance of our shared heritage, the SEIU Local 1000 Native American Committee (NASEIU) is working to create a better future for California’s Indigenous people today.
