Kmonaefierce Native American Heritage Month
Native American Indians, also known as the First Americans have contributed to the foundation and growth of the United States in ways that many can’t even imagine. What started off as just a day of recognition soon grew into what we all know as National Native American Heritage Month (NAHM). American Indian day was made official in 1915 by the annual Congress following an American Indian Association (AIA) meeting. After the declaration was made by AIA president, Rev. Sherman Coolidge, American Indian Day was initially held on the 2nd Saturday of May. Later, in 1990 President Bush approved designating November as Native American Heritage Month.
