We would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the Indigenous history of the lands on which we are located and share information with the Pactera EDGE community about our local tribes – and how to engage with our Native neighbors here and now.

Official National Recognition
In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.”
Pactera EDGE has offices in Illinois, New York and Washington. Throughout this month we will be encouraging our teammates to learn about the Native Peoples of these regions and elevating contemporary Native voices to be heard.
