Native American Heritage Month

Native American Heritage Month

Native American Heritage Month at Evanston Public Library

November is Native American Heritage Month—a time to honor and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and ongoing contributions of Native and Indigenous peoples.

At Evanston Public Library, we invite you to explore, learn, and reflect through a collection of books and resources that highlight Native voices and stories. Whether you’re an educator, student, or lifelong learner, we have materials that offer meaningful ways to deepen understanding and appreciation of Native American heritage all year long.
