Native American Heritage Month: Honoring a Rich Culture

Established in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush, Native American Heritage Month is celebrated each November to honor the customs, traditions, music, dance, and crafts of Native people in the United States. We invite you to dive into this special page to discover these voices and perspectives, and to begin a dialogue through understanding that leads to real, measurable racial and economic equality.

And for our Native American community, you will find on this page a range of free Library District services, as well as local and national resources, scholarship opportunities, and much more.
