Last year, there was zero recognition. Will Twitch commit to at least recognizing that November is Native American (Indigenous) Heritage Month? "I" in BIPOC does stand for Indigenous and I hope we don't continue to be overlooked and ignored by this platform.

I see some questions in the comments and I want to explain why November. The head office of Twitch is in the United States and so is its parent company Amazon. Native American/Alaska Native Heritage Month was established in 1990 by President George H. W. Bush. It is the official month in the US.
Canada it is June but not officially recognized nationally as June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. Could they do something for all the Indigenous people's days, yes but for a whole month November would work just fine. Plus the border between the US and Canada is theirs, not ours.
