Native American Heritage Month – What started as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose.
This commemorative month aims to provide a platform for Native people in the United States of America to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts, dance, and ways and concepts of life, as well as the opportunity to express to their concerns and solutions for building bridges of understanding and friendship in their local area.
In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.”
