Native American Heritage Month
A time to celebrate the 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 Indigenous people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges.
What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the contributions of the many intertribal cultures, as well as to educate everyone about the rich history, heritage, art and traditions of the original American peoples made to the establishment and growth of the United States, has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose.
National Native American Heritage Month is celebrated with community gatherings and festivals and government and educational activities. We encourage you to learn more about the traditions and contributions of Native Americans and Alaskan Natives in education, art, literature, government, sports, science and technology past and present.
