Native American Heritage Month  

November is Native American Heritage Month, or as it is commonly referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.

The month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. Heritage Month is also an opportune time to educate the general public about tribes, to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges.

For a proclamation from the National Congress of American Indians, please see the following: Native American Heritage Month | NCAI.

To see a list of celebratory events sponsored by the National Gallery of Art, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, and more, please take a look at the following: National Native American Heritage Month.
