Native American Heritage Month

November is National Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor the history, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous communities in the United States. This month is dedicated to recognizing the resilience, rich cultural heritage, and diverse perspectives of Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities, who have long enriched our country’s history and continue to shape its future.

Throughout the month, educational events, art exhibitions, and cultural activities highlight the distinct traditions, languages, and arts of Indigenous peoples, emphasizing both their historical significance and contemporary experiences. Celebrating Native American Heritage Month offers an opportunity for communities and schools to learn about Indigenous histories and the importance of protecting Native cultures and rights.
