Indians to host Native American Heritage Night on Friday, August 11<\/strong>
The Indianapolis Indians announced that the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana will be recognized before and during the game on Native American Heritage Night on Friday, Aug. 11, at Victory Field. Ceremonies will include drums, dancing, a land acknowledgement plaque dedication, educational opportunities and recognition of Miami veterans. Although the night focuses on the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana, all Native Americans are welcome to join in a celebration of rich heritage and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Native American Heritage Night will begin with a smudge ceremony by the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana from 6-6:30 PM in the Center Field Plaza.

It will be moved to the field for a veteran drum song before the national anthem and will return to the Center Field Plaza during the game for fans to observe and learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the smudge ceremony, a land acknowledgement plaque will be presented to Chief Buchanan pregame to acknowledge his leadership and the Indians\u2019 partnership with the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana. The land acknowledgement is read aloud before every home game. Further, the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana and Susan Charlesworth from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma will have Native American artifacts, art and basketry for viewing to add to the cultural experience, and Miami veterans will be recognized during an inning break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
