Native American Heritage Month
Native American Heritage Month
Honoring and celebrating Indigenous peoples past and present
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush declared November as Native American Heritage
Month. Each year during this time, Oklahoma State University pays tribute to and celebrates
the ancestry and traditions of Native Americans. This month also helps educate the
public about the tribes and the challenges Native people have faced over the years.
