Over 100 years ago Red Fox James, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, rode across the United States on horseback advocating for a day to honor Native people. In May of 1916, New York celebrated the first “American Indian Day.” Decades later in 1990, Congress passed, and President George H.
W. Bush signed into law a joint resolution that designated November as National Native American Heritage Month. ADVERTISEMENT Every year the month is recognized by state statute or presidential proclamation.
Native American Heritage Month recognizes and celebrates Native history, culture and contributions made across the United States. For many, being together in community whether it be small or large gatherings is the best way to celebrate.
