Did you know that November is Native American Heritage Month? George H. W. Bush designated November 1990 "National American Indian Heritage Month". While we still have continued to celebrate Native Americans and their history in the month of November past 1990, there is still no legal national holiday specifying November as a national holiday.
The purpose of Native American Heritage Month is to honor the original inhabitants of these lands and their influence on other world cultures over the years. They have contributed in the areas of agriculture, medicine, mathematics, government, economics, and so much more!
