Native American Heritage Month has evolved from its beginnings as a week-long celebration in 1986, when President Reagan proclaimed the week of November 23-30, 1986 as "American Indian Week." Every President since 1995 has issued annual proclamations designating the month of November as the time to celebrate the culture, accomplishments, and contributions of people who were the first inhabitants of the United States.
All month long you can explore stories that show the diversity and long history of Indigenous people across the United States. Celebrate the history, culture, and continuing traditions of American Indians and Alaska Natives in this special collection of films. You can stream these films and more on PBS.org or on the PBS Video App.
