## About

For three decades the American Indian Heritage Celebration has been North Carolina's culminating event for American Indian Heritage Month, and in 2026 it takes place at the North Carolina Museum of Art in west Raleigh. Organized by the state's American Indian Heritage Commission with the NC Commission of Indian Affairs, it brings together members of all eight state-recognized tribes to share traditional and contemporary art, history and culture. The celebration's stated message is visibility: Indigenous people are still here. It is a strong choice for school-age children learning North Carolina history in November. The celebration runs from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday, Nov 21, 2026. The event page does not print an admission price, so check with the museum before you go; the NCMA's Museum Park is free to walk.
