Honoring Native American Heritage Month

This month, we celebrate and honor the rich cultures, traditions, and histories of Native American communities across the nation. Native American Heritage Month is a time to recognize the invaluable contributions that Native peoples have made, and continue to make, to our society.

From storytelling and art to knowledge of the land and wisdom passed down through generations, Native American heritage is woven into the fabric of our country. Let’s take this time to educate ourselves, uplift Native voices, and show respect and appreciation for the diversity of cultures and languages that Native communities bring.

Let’s celebrate, learn, and stand together in recognition of Native American Heritage Month.
