Native American Gathering of Nations

"For the past thirty-eight years, the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow has been the most prominent, popular and legendary annual Native American event in North America. The Gathering of Nations Pow Wow annually hosts thousands of people including over 750 tribes from throughout the United States, Canada, and around the world. From the beginning the concept has always been to produce an event where Native people can come together each year to celebrate and share culture.
April 23 & 24, 2021 - The Gathering of Nations Powwow will be a virtual live streamed event, featuring dancers from tribes across North America." View Videos

National Arab Heritage Month

"Beginning in the '90s, Arab American heritage was celebrated sporadically in various states, primarily in school districts. It wasn't until 2017 when Arab America began a national initiative to coordinate all states under National Arab American Heritage Month. In 2017, Arab America asked U.S. Congresswoman, Debbie Dingell (D-MI), to issue a congressional resolution proclaiming National Arab American Heritage Month. It was then introduced to the house on April 30th 2019, and then referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. An identical bill was introduced in the House on May 1, 2020 to support the designation of an Arab American Heritage Month but it has not currently been passed. Some individual states (such as the Commonwealth of Virginia) observe April as Arab American Heritage Month, however as for now, National Arab American Heritage Month is not observed by the U.S. Federal Government."

Ramadan

"Muslims observe the month of Ramadan, to mark that Allah, or God, gave the first chapters of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad in 610, according to the Times of India. During Ramadan, Muslims fast, abstain from pleasures and pray to become closer to God. It is also a time for families to gather and celebrate. It is a time of spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and heightened devotion and worship. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam. The fast (sawm) begins at dawn and ends at sunset each day." Read More
