How to Celebrate Native American Heritage Month:

  • Learn about the Native Americans.
    • Native American Heritage Month is an excellent way to learn about the history of American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Indigenous Peoples. Our educational resources are a great place to start.
  • Visit museums.
    • You can view virtual exhibits or visit museum in person, such as the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. See artifacts and collections of the Native Americans’ jewelry, customs, and culture.
  • Support Native Businesses.
    • With so many “Native American products” for sale out there, sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the authentic Native creators and those simply looking to cash in on Native trends. That's why it's critically important to do your due diligence and seek out only brands that sell genuine Native American goods—clothing, jewelry, beadwork, home goods, cosmetics—you name it.
    • Here are some of the best places to shop for genuine Native American products.
  • Educate yourself through Native American films, shows, and documentaries.
    • If you are interested in learning about the Native American culture, find a documentary or movie. Our “Streaming” page features TV shows and movies across various platforms as well as documentaries we have in our own collection via Films on Demand.
