On August 3rd, 1990, George Bush approved a joint resolution declaring November “National American Indian Heritage Month.” This is a month dedicated to learning more about the legacy and history of Native Americans. The goal was to give recognition to the first Americans who helped established and explore the United States.

National Indian Heritage Month provides a time for native peoples to keep their traditions and culture alive. Congress chose November because it was the traditional harvest season and a time of celebration and thanksgiving for American Indians. The first thanksgiving was a three day feast in celebration of good harvest by the pilgrims and Native Americans. It was also a time to give thanks for reaching the New World safely. This first festive gathering took place in the autumn of 1621. However, Thanksgiving was not an annual observance in the United States until 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday. Today, we celebrate Thanksgiving Day on the forth Thursday of every November, and this year it falls on November 24th. Thanksgiving Day is historically known for celebrating the year’s harvest, but it’s also a time for Fall traditions.

This holiday is not only a time to reflect on the great accomplishments of the American Indians, but it’s also the perfect time to celebrate family, friends, food, and beautiful Autumn weather. What else could you ask for?! If you love this holiday as much as I do, then you’ll love showing off your spirit with Thanksgiving and Native American style jewelry. Cute pilgrim and turkey belly rings are perfect for this time of year, and there are also many types of jewelry with natural feathers, American Indian motifs, and gorgeous Fall colors. So be fashionable while you celebrate this Thanksgiving Day and National Indian Heritage Month!
