National American Indian Heritage Month

The first “American Indian Day” was celebrated in May 1916 in New York, but it was not until 1990 that a month-long recognition of Native American heritage was instituted. That year, President George H. W. Bush signed a joint congressional resolution to designate November as National American Indian Heritage Month to celebrate the history, art, and traditions of the First Americans. The extent of resources available online has expanded exponentially over the years. Listed below are Web sites containing educational resources to enrich your discovery of Native American heritage.
