FAIR Crystal - Native American Heritage Month

The Library of Congress and others pay tribute to the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans.

Welcome to Native American Heritage Month at DOI! This November and every month, we celebrate the culture and heritage of these remarkable Americans who deeply enrich the quality and character of our Nation.

There have been great Indigenous storytellers, activists, and performers for as long as the various tribes have existed, but as with so many people of color, it has been an uphill battle for many of them to be appreciated on the national and international level. As we finally honor the accomplishments and struggles of Indigenous populations, it's more important than ever to have a sense of the contributions famous Native Americans are making today.
