Each November since 2008, the U.S. has observed the day after Thanksgiving as Native American Heritage Day, closing out the celebration of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. This holiday celebrates the vibrant cultures, traditions, and heritages of Native Americans while recognizing the many contributions the first Americans made and will continue to make to our nation.
