"The most enduring feature of U.S. history is the presence of Native Americans, yet most histories focus on Europeans and their descendants. This long practice of ignoring Indigenous history is changing, however, as a new generation of scholars insists that any full American history address the struggle, survival, and resurgence of American Indian nations. Indigenous history is essential to understanding the evolution of modern America..."

Since its inception during the Civil War, 25 Medals of Honor have been awarded to U.S. Army soldiers of Native American descent. The first soldier of Sioux Nation heritage to receive America’s highest military honor was Master Sergeant Woodrow W. Keeble, a combat veteran of World War Two and the Korean War who earned the Medal of Honor for actions on 20 October 1951. During WWII, Keeble was attached to the 164th Infantry Regiment when it became the first Army unit sent to reinforce the Marine Corps’ defense of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, earning repute for his skill with a Browning Automatic Rifle. Keeble fought his way through the Pacific Theater’s island-hopping campaign along with the rest of the 164th and was discharged in 1946. Keeble’s retirement was short-lived however – in 1951, Keeble rejoined the fight as part of the 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division in Korea. As a platoon leader during Operation Nomad-Polar, the final major U.N. offensive of the war, Keeble distinguished himself during an assault against Chinese positions on Hill 765. As his platoon’s advance ground to a halt under withering fire on the steep hillside terrain, Keeble drove forward in a harrowing one-man attack. Although he was being showered with grenades and machine gun fire Keeble pressed forward, destroying three enemy machine gun nests and flooding enemy trenches with automatic fire. Buoyed by their sergeant’s valor, the men of Keeble’s platoon rallied to his aid, securing the hilltop and completing their mission. Keeble was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in 1952, upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2008. He also earned two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars, and four Purple Hearts across his Army career. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory #WWII #KoreanWar #MOH #WorldWarTwo #WW2 #WW2History #Sioux #MedalOfHonor Posted @withrepost • @armyhistory #nativeamericanheritagemonth (at Spring Hill, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClL9DivuaZN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, here is DeGrazia’s "Waiting for the Pow Wow” from his Navajo Collection painted in 1962. DeGrazia's early childhood experiences in Morenci, an ethnically diverse community, evolved into a lifelong appreciation of native cultures in the Sonoran Desert and a passion to create art depicting their lives and lore.
