The state's Department of Human Services is preparing to mark the 17th-annual Native American Heritage Celebration later this month.

The event is Nov. 17 at the Oklahoma City Farmers Market Auditorium and is open to the public.

The theme of this year's event is "Celebrating Wellness in Native America." 

Event organizers say the annual celebration provides an educational opportunity to appreciate and celebrate the wealth of cultural contributions of the Native American part of the state's population.  

The event includes entertainment, storytelling, historic information and traditional Native American food.
