SUMMARY:First Day of Native American Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:Is First Day of Native American Heritage Month a Public Holiday?\n\n\nThe first day of Native American Heritage Month is November 1st. President George H.W. Bush signed a joint congressional resolution in 1990 to designate the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month. The month honors the cultural\, historical\, educational\, and societal contributions of Native Americans\, Alaska Natives\, Native Hawaiians\, and affiliated Island communities. It also celebrates their traditions\, languages\, and stories\, and honors veterans who have served the nation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCongress chose November because it’s a time of celebration and giving thanks that generally follows the end of the traditional harvest season. The month also honors Indigenous peoples who have suffered at the hands of the U.S. government.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore the month-long celebration\, there was a week-long celebration called American Indian Week in 1986\, which took place from November 23–30. The first American Indian Day was celebrated in New York in May 1916\, after Red Fox James\, a member of the Blackfeet Nation\, rode across the country on horseback to get 24 state governments to approve the day.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere are some ways to celebrate Native American Heritage Month: Participate in Native American cultural events\, Explore Native American cuisine\, Read Native American literature\, Listen to Native American podcasts\, and Recognize what Native land you are on.

SUMMARY:All Saints' Day
DESCRIPTION:Many Catholic churches in the United States celebrate All Saints’ Day to honor all the saints\, particularly those who do not have their own special feast day\, on November 1. \nIs All Saints’ Day a Public Holiday?\nAll Saints’ Day is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours. \nWhat Do People Do?\nAll Saints’ Day is also known as All Hallows Tide\, All-Hallomas\, or All Hallows’ Day\, and it’s celebrated in many areas of the United States\, especially where there are large Roman Catholic populations. \nIn New Orleans\, for example\, people gather in local cemeteries and decorate the graves with flowers. The descendants of French Canadian settlers around St Martinsville\, Louisiana\, observe this day in the traditional French manner by laying wreaths and bouquets and lighting candles on even the most obscure graves. \nAll Saints’ Day\, which is celebrated globally\, is closely tied with All Souls’ Day\, which was first instituted at the monastery in Cluny\, France in 993 CE and quickly spread among Christians. Some eastern churches in the United States celebrated All Saints’ Day on the first Sunday after Pentecost. \nDay After Halloween\nAll Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day are also closely linked with Halloween\, which is a shortened for the name “All Hallows’ Eve”. \nIn the United Methodist Church\, All Saints’ Day is observed on the first Sunday in November to remember deceased members of the local church congregation. A candle is lit as each person’s name is called out\, followed by a prayer offered for each soul. \nMany Latin American communities in the United States hold celebrations around November 1 and 2\, linking with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day (November 2). These celebrations are part of the Day of the Dead\, also known as Día de los Muertos. \nPublic Life\nAll Saints’ Day is not a federal public holiday in the United States. \nBackground\nAccording to some sources\, the idea for All Saints’ Day goes back to the fourth century when the Greek Christians kept a festival on the first Sunday after Pentecost (in late May or early June) in honor of all martyrs and saints. Other sources say that a commemoration of “All Martyrs” began to be celebrated as early as 270 CE\, but no specific month or date is recorded. \nPope Gregory IV made All Saints’ Day an authorized holiday in 837 CE. It is speculated that the chosen date for the event\, November 1\, may have been an attempt to supplant pagan festivals that occurred around the same time. \nSymbols\nSymbols commonly associated with All Saints’ Day are: \n\nA sheaf of wheat.\nRayed Manus Dei (hand of God).\nThe crown.\nSymbols / images of saints.\n\nThe liturgical color is white on All Saints’ Day.
