Henrico Celebrates November as Native American Heritage Month
History
Since 1990, Congress has designated November as National American Indian Heritage Month, also known as (Native American Heritage Month), to highlight the contributions and cultures of the indigenous peoples of the North American continent. Such recognition, however, dates back further with state and organizational recognition of indigenous peoples days and commemorations occurring at the turn of the 20th century.
To learn more, please visit Henrico’s Native American Heritage Month page here.
Henrico County Libraries Invite You to Celebrate with Us!
In commemoration of Native American Heritage Month, the library is hosting a series of programs in November. Learn about the practices of regional tribal communities, sample a staple from Native American cuisine, and discuss stories written by indigenous authors.
