Celebrating Native American Heritage Month: Meet Camille Sorenson, NNSY NAIH-ERG Pres

[The Patriot]

Most know November as the month of Thanksgiving, the celebration of Native Americans helping the colonists survive in their new home and the two groups coming together in harmony. In the light of this historic harmonious communion, every president has issued an annual proclamation of their own claiming November as National American Indian Heritage Month or National Native American Heritage Month since 1995. It has also been tradition for the Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s (NNSY) Native American Indian Heritage Employee Resource Group (NAIH-ERG) to celebrate this month in some way. Although COVID-19 has put a stop on such plans for 2020, NAIH-ERG Chairperson Camille Brownell-Sorenson was able to speak about her experience as a part Native American employee at NNSY.
