Native American & Alaska Native Heritage Month
November is a time 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 in 1915 as a single day recognition, Dr. Parker, a Seneca Indian, convinced the Boy Scouts of America to host a First Americans Day, which evolved over time.
Until 1990, when President George H. W. Bush designated November as Native American Heritage Month.
