Northern Arizona University is celebrating\u00a0Native American Heritage Month\u00a0with various activities throughout November to commemorate the traditions and culture of indigenous people.<\/p>\n
In 1990, President George H.W. Bush proclaimed November as National American Indian Heritage Month, providing Native Americans the chance to educate the public on issues surrounding tribes, share culture and traditions and collaborate in assisting tribal communities.<\/p>\n
