Upcoming Events

Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month 

November is Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month! Though the works towards getting Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month precedes 1990, in 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 "National American Indian Heritage Month." Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including "Native American Heritage Month" and "National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month") have been issued each year since 1994.
