About the event
The history of America begins with Native Americans, and the bald eagle on the U.S. shield is an Iroquois symbol. On Native American Heritage Day, we can enjoy displays of their cultural fashion and unique recipes and speak out against the grave injustices they have experienced. This day encourages Americans of all backgrounds to appreciate the indigenous cultures appropriately, with ceremonies and activities. Schools are also encouraged to enhance their students’ awareness of Native Americans by providing classroom activities focused on their history, contributions, and achievements.
