National Native American Heritage Month
November is National Native American Heritage Month
November is National Native American Heritage Month. The month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories, and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native People.
For more than half-a-century, Plimoth Patuxet Museums has invited guests to learn through its collections, programs, and living history sites about the Indigenous heritage of the Northeast and culture that continues today.
Throughout this time, Indigenous knowledge keepers and artisans have shared their craft, traditions, and history with millions of people from all over the world. The Museum is grateful to them for enriching the understanding of our shared past.
About Plimoth Patuxet
Plimoth Patuxet is one of the
Nation’s foremost living history museums. Founded in 1947, the Museum creates
engaging experiences of history built on thorough research about the Indigenous
and European people who met along Massachusetts' historic shores in the 1600s.
Major exhibits include the Historic Patuxet Homesite, the 17th-Century English
Village, Mayflower II, and Plimoth Grist Mill. A private, 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit educational institution, Plimoth Patuxet is supported by
admission fees, donations, memberships, and revenue from educational programs,
gift shops and dining. Plimoth Patuxet receives support from the Massachusetts
Cultural Council, private foundations, corporations, and local businesses.
Located less than an hour’s drive south of Boston, and 15 minutes north of Cape
Cod, the Museum is open daily from early spring through the Sunday after
Thanksgiving. For more information, visit plimoth.org. Follow the Museum on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
