Astronaut John Herrington made history when he became the first Native American in space aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour's STS-113 mission. Proudly representing the Chickasaw Nation, Herrington carried its flag and several personal items, including a traditional flute, on his trip to space. Herrington is a true inspiration and symbol of representation, resilience and exploration beyond boundaries. 🚀#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth 📸: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
