November is Native American Heritage Month, also referred to as American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. President Calvin Coolidge issued a proclamation on September 28, 1915 which declared the second Saturday of may as an American Indian Day. This recognition was the first for Native Americans, and was the result of years of planning and advocacy by the Congress of the American Indian Association. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush approved a resolution designating November 1990 as “National American Indian Heritage Month”, and it has been declared a similar Month every year since 1994. The significant contributions of Native American/American Indians have made to the establishment of the United States are celebrated, along with their wide variety of tribe and clan cultures, traditions, and history. It is also a month to learn and act on the current challenges facing Native peoples today.
