Celebrate Native American Heritage Month Year-Round

While November 30th marks the end of Native American Heritage Month, the HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) encourages you to continue learning about and sharing information that can help advance health equity for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations throughout the year.

You can play an active role in ensuring healthier, stronger AI/AN communities by:

• Bookmarking and browsing OMH’s Native American Heritage Month website, which features federal and non-federal initiatives and resources about reducing AI/AN health disparities.
• Visiting the OMH Knowledge Center online catalog for publications and resources that analyze overall health disparities existing within the AI/AN community.
• Attending one of the AI/AN-focused events presented by our partners listed below.
