Members of the Wisconsin Dells Singers of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin perform during the 2022 Fort McCoy Native American Heritage Month Observance in McCoy's Community Center at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The Singers performed traditional Native music and dances in their regalia for dozens of Fort McCoy community members.

November is Native American Heritage Month, or as it is commonly referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.

The month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people.

Fort McCoy was established in 1909 and its motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.” Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.

The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
