Honoring the first peoples of this landโ€”their history, heritage, and living presence today.

A Legacy of Resilience

Native American Day is observed on September 26, 2025 in several U.S. states to recognize and honor the contributions, history, and cultures of Native peoples. It is a reminder that Native heritage is not just a chapter of the pastโ€”itโ€™s a living, evolving story that continues to shape the identity of America.

The day is rooted in respect: for the resilience of tribes who endured centuries of upheaval, for their stewardship of land and resources, and for their artistic, linguistic, and spiritual contributions that remain vital today.

Modern Day Perspectives

Native American identity is not frozen in the past. Today, millions of Native people live across the United Statesโ€”urban and rural, traditional and modern.

Being born in America today as Native often means navigating two worlds: honoring heritage while engaging with modern society. This duality is not a conflictโ€”itโ€™s a strength that continues to enrich the broader American experience.
