Grand Canyon, Ariz. –In observance of Native American/Alaska Native Heritage Month, Grand Canyon National Park is sponsoring a series of special events on Tuesday, November 11 and Wednesday, November 12. All are invited to participate in these presentations and demonstrations as we recognize and celebrate the many accomplishments, contributions, and sacrifices made by First Americans. November is recognized as National American Indian Heritage Month, by virtue of a Presidential Proclamation. American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians are a special part of the tapestry of our Nation's history. As keepers of a rich and ancient cultural heritage, American Indians share with all of us the beauty of their art, power of song and grace of their people.
