2021 National Native American Heritage Month

1.  National Native American Heritage Month is celebrated each year in the month of November. The 2021 Observance Theme is "Resilient and Enduring: We Are Native People."
2.  In November 1990, Congress issued a joint resolution authorizing the President to proclaim annually the month of November as the "National American Heritage Month."  Since 1988, Presidents have issued proclamations, executive orders, and other guiding statements on National Native American Heritage Month and the policies to honor the achievements of Native Americans.  More information can be found in the Public Laws section of www.congress.gov.
3.  During the month of November, we honor the cultures that represent the robust Native American heritage of our Nation.  As business owners, artists, teachers, writers, courageous members of our Armed Forces, and so many more, their contributions to our society are cause for celebration and appreciation by all Americans.
4.  The Marine Corps is committed to living the values we defend and treating everyone with dignity and respect.  As such, the Marine Corps takes pride in building strength through diversity and is dedicated to promoting a professional environment free from personal, social, or institutional barriers that prevent Marines from reaching their full potential.
