Celebrate Native American/Alaskan American Heritage Month

The tribes request consultation on activities involving ground disturbance in undisturbed areas and all activities involving the seven Adena mounds located on base land. Six exist at the Wright Brothers Memorial, while another one is found in Area B. (Skywrighter file photo)
