The first American Indian Day in a state was declared on the second Saturday in May 1916 by the governor of New York. Several states celebrate the fourth Friday in September. Presently, several states have designated Columbus Day as Native American Day, but it continues to be a day we observe without any recognition as a national legal holiday. In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 "National American Indian Heritage Month." Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including “Native American Heritage Month” and “National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month”) have been issued each year since 1994. This information and more can be found at the Library of Congress' website on Native American Heritage Month.
These are just a few of the books from the library's collection related to Native American Heritage month. Follow the instructions outlined on this guide to place a hold on any titles of interest and library staff will pull them for you. You can also stop by the library and browse the shelves.
