Ethnic Technologies Celebrates “November is Native American Heritage Month”

“November is Native American Heritage Month”

Ethnic Technologies, the leading multicultural marketing software and data company celebrates November is Native American Heritage Month.

While the first American Indian Day was celebrated in May 1916 in New York, in 1990, November was designated “National American Indian Heritage Month” by then-President George H.W. Bush and similar proclamations have been issued every year since 1994.

Now called “American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month” or Native American Heritage Month this year’s Proclamation by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. contains the following passage:

“Despite a painful history marked by unjust Federal policies of assimilation and termination, American Indian and Alaska Native peoples have persevered. During National Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate the countless contributions of Native peoples past and present, honor the influence they have had on the advancement of our Nation, and recommit ourselves to upholding trust and treaty responsibilities, strengthening Tribal sovereignty, and advancing Tribal self-determination.”
