American Indian Heritage Month was first proclaimed by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. It recognizes contemporary American Indian tribes and individuals as active participants in American society and honors their histories, cultures and achievements. November marks a time to note the existence of Indian tribes and reflect on their significance in American history and contributions to American culture.
