November is National Native American Heritage Month |
|
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November of 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.” Variants of the name and similar proclamations have been issued since 1994, including the current "National Native American Heritage Month" and "National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month".
The month is a time to reflect, celebrate, and encourage awareness of the rich, diverse cultures of Native populations. It is an opportune time to become educated about the various tribes of the United States and to acknowledge the challenges that native peoples have faced, still face, and overcome in our history.

Pinal Libraries are fantastic information resources, but they are also community hubs where you can engage, explore, and connect with others. Pinal County Library District affiliate libraries offer numerous programs that are free to the public and range from Storytimes that get young children ready to read, to Computer Classes that enable folks to make technology work for them.
Last month, there were nearly 300 programs taking place at the libraries across Pinal. Find something that interests you today!
