Each November, the President of the USA Issues a Proclamation  declaring 
November as Native American Heritage Month. The month is a time to 
celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions,and histories of 
Native American people. It is also a time to acknowledge the important 
contributions they have made to the United States.According to the U.S. 
Bureau of Indian Affairs, in 2020 there were 574 federally recognized 
IndianTribes or Nations in the United States. These indigenous people 
have lived in the Americas for thousands of years.
This year President Biden's message stressed the importance of Native 
American participation in the US Armed Forces.  He mentioned in
