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.
