EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  

The 412th Test Wing and NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center partnered to sponsor this year’s tribute to American Indian and Alaska Native people whose contributions, sacrifices and historical legacy, helped shape the United States. 

 

“Standing Together” is the theme for Native American Heritage Month 2017.

 

Children and parents listened to stories, created dream catchers and ate Native American bread as part of the NAHM kickoff event Nov.1 at the base library.
