CCRD Celebrates Native American Heritage Month
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 as “National American Indian Heritage Month.” For almost one hundred years, Americans both Indian and non-Indian urged that there be permanently designated by the nation a special place on the calendar to honor the contributions, achievements, sacrifices, and cultural and historical legacy of the original inhabitants of what is now the United States and their descendants: the American Indian and Alaska Native people.
