Native American & Alaska Native Heritage Month
November is an opportunity to celebrate and learn about the rich and diverse cultures, languages, and histories of Indigenous peoples across the United States.
This month honors Indigenous culture makers, visionaries, activists, and leaders—past and present—while amplifying the contemporary voices of Native Americans and their communities.
Originally conceived of in 1915 as a single day recognition of Native peoples’ contributions to the development of the United States
Dr. Parker, a Seneca Indian and the director of the Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, NY, convinced the Boy Scouts of America to host a First Americans Day, which evolved over time into the current celebration.
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush officially recognized the month of November as Native American Heritage Month.
