Indigenous Heritage Month is celebrated during the month of November. This commemorative month aims to provide a platform for Native people in the United States of America to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts, dance, and ways and concepts of life. President George H. W. Bush first declared November as National American Indian Heritage Month, thereafter commonly referred to as Indigenous Heritage Month, on August 3, 1990 and it was considered a landmark bill that honored indigenous tribal populations.
