Native American Heritage Day is a civil holiday that is celebrated on the day after Thanksgiving also known as "Black Friday". According to SAMHSA "As of 2021, there are 574 federally recognized Tribes in the United States. However, numerous others are still advocating for recognition"[1] Many tribes have not been recognized yet, and a lot of this comes from lack of history. There has been a lot of struggles and fighting for this holiday to even be recognized by some and for the Native American Culture to be seen.
