To commemorate Native American Heritage Day, Wild players will wear custom Native American Heritage hockey jerseys during the pre-game warm up. "Our partnership with the Wild gives us a platform to share our story and celebrate our culture with the community, which we are honored to do on this national holiday." "Our tribe is proud to be active and engaged in Minnesota, and giving back is at the core of who we are as Dakota people," says Shelley Buck, Prairie Island Indian Community Tribal Council President. The day celebrates the vibrant cultures, traditions, and heritages while recognizing the many contributions Native Americans have made. Native American Heritage Day, signed into law in 2008, takes place the day after Thanksgiving and honors Native Americans across the nation.
