It\u2019s a time to celebrate the traditions, languages and stories of Native American and Alaska Native communities as we ensure their rich histories and contributions continue to thrive with each passing generation.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Defense estimates that Native Americans and Alaska Natives have one of the highest representations in the armed forces, and VA is committed to ensuring that Native American Veterans and their families can utilize all appropriate benefits and services.<\/p>\n<p>At VA, our commitment to Veterans knows no boundaries. We dedicate our time to serving all who served, and that means understanding their different backgrounds and experiences so the work we do can be tailored to their individual needs.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for the most diverse group of Veterans in history requires the assurance that everyone\u2014employees, volunteers and Veterans alike\u2014feel included in the work that we do.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work at VA<\/h3>\n<p>Learn more about National Native American Heritage Month, and VA\u2019s commitment to diversity, at <a href=\"https:\/\/vacareers.va.gov\/job-news-advice\/native-american-heritage-month-va\/?&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=VHA__FY25Q1_BLOG_VANEW_TRAF_BRAN_US_GEN_XXXXXX\" rel=\"noopener\">VA Careers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"tni-attribution\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/135845\/help-native-american-veterans-with-a-va-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a>.
