Press release from Birmingham Public Library: November 5, 2021 Celebrate National Native American Indian Heritage Month this November! Before President George H. W. Bush declared this heritage month in 1990, there were many individual efforts honoring Indigenous heritage under the names of "First Americans Day," "Indian American Day," and "Native American Day." Other celebrations of this month are called "Native American Heritage Month" and "National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month." If you do not know much about Indigenous history, culture, and peoples, the Birmingham Public Library (BPL) is a great place to start. The BPL and Jefferson County Library Cooperative (JCLC) offer a variety of resources about Indigenous culture and history, especially here in Alabama and Birmingham.
