The American Indian Heritage Celebration (AIHC)—with support from its community partners, the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs and the North Carolina American Indian Commission—has been the culminating event in honor of American Indian Heritage Month in North Carolina for three decades.The AIHC consists of a virtual education day on Friday, November 21, and a free, in-person festival on Saturday, November 22, at the NCMA. The celebration highlights traditional and contemporary artistic, historical, and cultural contributions of American Indian communities in North Carolina. It also brings together members of all eight state-recognized tribes. The consistent theme and message of AIHC, as expressed by its advisory board, is visibility: Indigenous people are still here!
NOTE: While the North Carolina Museum of History building is closed for renovations, this year’s in-person festival is being held at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Activities take place in East Building and on Gipson Plaza. Parking is available in the three main Museum parking lots.
