Ingalls honors National Native American Heritage Month

Published on 11/03/2022


In honor of November being National Native American Heritage Month, Ingalls is celebrating the many shipbuilders who have Indigenous roots. 

HII recognizes the sacrifices and contributions Native Americans have made to make both our country and this company what they are today. 

The rich cultures, traditions, and experiences of America’s indigenous people are deeply woven into the history of our nation and its defense. 

A significant number of Native Americans have served in all of the nation's wars beginning with the Revolutionary War.

Native people have the highest per-capita involvement of any population to serve in the U.S. military, with American Indians and Alaska Natives serving  in the Armed Forces at five times the national average.
