Some states continue to observe a set-aside day of celebration for Native Americans. For example, the fourth Friday in September is American Indian Day in California. Other states and cities have made the switch on Columbus Day, to celebrate Native Americans’ Day or Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead (South Dakota was the first state to do this in 1989). Also, Native American Heritage Day is currently celebrated on the Friday following Thanksgiving.
