Happy Native American Heritage Day!
11/29/24
The 29th of November is Native American Heritage Day. Buy from Native owned businesses and help stop erasure. Spend a little extra time seeking out and shopping at Native American owned stores, websites, and cultural centers like Decolonial Clothing.
Whats the difference between the two holidays Indigenous Peoples Day and Native American Heritage Day? While both days serve to honor Indigenous peoples, Indigenous Peoples Day (previously known as Columbus Day) focuses more on activism and recognition of historical injustices. It celebrates the 571+ distinct Native Peoples who exist today in the Modern US.
Native American Heritage Day (day after Thanksgiving) celebrates cultural heritage and contributions within a more festive context, it celebrates ancestors. The overlap in themes can lead to confusion, but each day has its distinct emphasis and cultural significance.
