National Native American Heritage Month: The Land of Orange County<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Native American Monument in Hillsborough<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Long before Chapel Hill was home to the University of North Carolina, Occaneechi, Sissipahaw, Shakori, Haw and Eno Native Americans roamed the land. People of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation still live in the area today. These Native Americans hunted, farmed, held ceremonies and traded on the land where the university now stands. In particular, deerskin trading was popular due to the nearby Great Trading Path. Found artifacts lead experts to believe Indigenous people hunted and settled near Franklin St. from 500 BC to 500 AD. Findings show Finley Golf Course was also previously inhabited by Native Americans. There is documentation the Occaneechi moved to the Eno River, present day Hillsborough, in 1680 after being run out of their land in Virginia. John Lawson, an English explorer, visited their village in 1701. His writings describe well built homes in their community. The village was empty by 1712 as the Occaneechi had moved northeast to join other Native Americans.
\nNovember is Native American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the contributes of our nation\u2019s first people, remember their history and learn about their culture.<\/p>\n

November 1-2: Dia De Los Muertos<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"\"
Day of the Dead Celebration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dia De Los Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead, celebrates those who have died. By honoring the deceased, death is acknowledged as an important part of the life cycle. The holiday originated in Mexico but is now celebrated across Latin America and in the United States. On November 1 and 2, it is believed the spirits of the dead return home to spend time with their living loved ones. Many welcome the dead by building altars made from marigolds, candles, photos, papel picado (cut tissue-paper designs) and food or beverages. Skulls and skeletons are also common decorations. During these two days, families spend time cleaning and decorating gravesites. Some communities, schools and museums in the U.S. have begun a tradition of creating an altar as a cultural expression instead of honoring an individual.<\/p>\n

Also known as the festival of lights, Diwali is one of the most celebrated holidays in India or by Hindus. The festival is celebrated across five days with the main events taking place on the third night, November 12 this year. Dhanteras commemorates the first day, a time when Goddess Laxmi is worshiped to provide wealth and well-being. The third day of Diwali, Lakshmi-puja, is dedicated to the propitiation of Goddess Lakshmi. Throughout the festival people of all ages light lamps, decorate the house, burst firecrackers and enjoy a feast together. The lights are seen as a way to combat negative forces such as lust, anger, envy and greed. Diwali is one of the only few Hindu festivals celebrated in every part of India.<\/p>\n
