During the month of November, we celebrate the contributions, cultures, and histories of our Native American populations. Native American Heritage Month focuses on the cultures of American Indians and Alaska Natives, groups indigenous to our country. Learning about these cultures allows the American public to understand how these tribal citizens have worked to overcome the unique challenges that they continue to face.
