American Indian/Alaska Native Heritage Month Lecture Series
American Indian/Alaska Native Heritage Month Lecture Series
The month of November is designated as National American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Heritage Month, honoring all American Indians and Alaska Natives. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November as National American Indian Heritage Month. Throughout National AI/AN Heritage month, we recognize the histories, invaluable contributions, and lives of AI/AN people in the United States.
