2026 marks 100 years since Dr. Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week, the precursor to Black History Month. This year’s theme examines how Black history and life commemorations have evolved and transformed the perception of Black people in the modern world. It recognizes that 2026 coincides with challenges emphasizing the continuous need to defend and build upon Black history and achievements. It also ties into the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, linking Black history to fundamental American rights. Other interpretations connect the centennial to themes of heritage, hope, and future horizons. This month, GLIIHC will be honoring and sharing stories, information about Black history, and ways to support beyond February.

Our third Jingle Dress Dancing class is happening this Wednesday, February 4, and we’re grateful to continue moving, learning, and healing together. Each session builds on the steps, teachings, and meaning of the Jingle Dress Dance — honoring tradition while strengthening body, mind, and spirit.
Whether you’ve been dancing with us since the beginning or are joining for the first time, you’re welcome in the circle. Wear your moccasins if you have them, and come ready to move and connect.
Please remember that participants under 18 should be accompanied by an adult.
We look forward to dancing together again this week.
*Don't forget! If you can't attend in person, this class will be offered as a Facebook Live video. Come to our FB page at 4pm and wait for the video to begin. Once the class is complete, the video will remain on our Facebook feed for one month.
