Portledge in the Now.

Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month. As an institution, we recognize that Portledge School exists on the land previously inhabited by the Matinecock Tribal Nation and that these indigenous peoples once farmed, worshiped, and raised families in what is now Locust Valley.
As such, we have a responsibility to acknowledge that the Matinecocks have experienced profound changes over the years, yet their legacy continues on our campus through the education of Indigenous American history. This year, during weekly community time throughout the month of November, our newly formed Music and Performance Club, under the leadership of Chloe Fuller, '26, and Sebastian Reale, '27, will lead presentations at each division on the history and culture of indigenous peoples of the United States and their descendants through song and dance.  
 
These opportunities for student learning and engagement in and out of the classroom highlight our mission of inclusivity and our DEI focus on belonging.
