Resources for Native American Heritage Month

Posted on November 5th, 2020

Native American Heritage Month celebrates the history, culture, and achievements of Native Americans in the United States. Established in 1990 by President H.W. Bush, November is recognized as Native American Heritage Month.

To commemorate Native American Heritage Month, and as part of the library’s NEA Big Read programming series, Booth Library is pleased to bring Kim McIver Sigafus to campus. On November 9th at 6:30 p.m., she will present “A Peek Into the American Indian Way of Life Through Their History and Oral Traditions,” a virtual event live-streamed from the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The event is free and open to the public. For more details, click here.

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month by learning more about Native American history and culture. Check out one of the books on this guide created by librarian Janice Derr.
