What is Native American Heritage Month?
Also known as American Indian and Alaskan Native Month, Native American Heritage month is a time to honor traditions, culture, contributions, and history of indigenous communities. It is also a time to reflect upon the past.
It started with Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca archeologist and director of Rochester Museum and Science Center, advocating for a federally recognized day for Native Americans. As a result, New York was the first state to recognize American Indian Day, in 1916.
Later, in 1990, George H.W. Bush declared the month of November as Native American Heritage Month.
