Indigenous Heritage Month was celebrated through the sponsorship of several offices and programs at Mount Holyoke College last month, with several events featuring guest speaker Larry Spotted Crow Mann. The first event, “The Living Presence of Nipmuc People,” was held virtually on Nov. 14 from 7-8:30 p.m., inviting all community members to view online. A second event, an interfaith lunch, was held in person on Nov. 21 from 12-1:30 p.m.
The South Asian community at Mount Holyoke College illuminated Chapin Auditorium with the vibrant celebration of Diwali, the Festival of Lights, on Saturday, Nov. 23.
