News & Info

For Native American Heritage Month- Many government institutions still refer to Indigenous peoples as American Indian and Alaska Native , such as the United States Census Bureau, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), as well as the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), to name a few. However, according to Elizabeth Price Pauls, an editor of Anthropology and Languages at Encyclopedia Britannica, using Native American is more respectful: “In the 1960s many activists in the United States and Canada rejected the phrase American Indian because it was seen as a misnomer and sometimes carried racist connotations. In these countries Native American soon became the preferred term of reference. However, whenever possible, it is best to use the name of an individual’s particular Indigenous community or nation of people.”

Some states continue to observe a set-aside day of celebration for Native Americans. For example, the fourth Friday in September is American Indian Day in California. Other states and cities have made the switch on Columbus Day, to celebrate Native Americans’ Day or Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead (South Dakota was the first state to do this in 1989). Also, Native American Heritage Day is currently celebrated on the Friday following Thanksgiving.

In September 1915, the president of the Congress of the American Indian Association, Reverend Sherman Coolidge (an Arapahoe), worked with the goal of making American Indian Day observed across the nation, as well as fighting for U.S. citizenship for Native Americans. It wasn’t until 1924, when all Native Americans were granted citizenship, after Congress enacted the Indian Citizenship Act.
