Facts and Features:\u00a0<\/strong>American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month: November 2019<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

The first American Indian Day was celebrated in May 1916 in New York. Red Fox James, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, rode horseback from state to state to get endorsements from 24 state governments to have a day to honor American Indians. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed a joint congressional resolution designating November 1990 as \u201cNational American Indian Heritage Month.\u201d Similar proclamations have been issued every year since 1994, and we now refer to this celebration as \u201cAmerican Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.\u201d This Facts for Features presents statistics for American Indians and Alaska Natives, as this is one of the six major race categories defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.<\/p>\n

The following facts are made possible by the invaluable responses to the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s surveys. We appreciate the public\u2019s cooperation as we continuously measure America\u2019s people, places and economy.<\/p>\n
