Talk:National American Indian Heritage Month

The first proposed bill for "National American Indian Heritage Month" was through the American Indian Heritage Foundation in 1990. The most instrumental people involved with making this National Month and Observance possible was Senator Hatch, Senator Inouye, and Congressman Eni Faleomavaega. AIHF The American Indian Heritage Foundation has since then closed the foundation but still operates the website www.indians.org. An official letter from Congress was sent to the the American Indian Heritage foundation thanking them for their contribution to making the observance of National American Indian Heritage Month "November" a reality, proving who the original sponsor of the month really was, it came directly from Congressman Eni Faleomavaega. This official letter is now part of the Congressional Record and can be viewed on the facebook page titled American Indian Heritage Month. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Treaty Indian (talk • contribs) 05:06, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Native American Indian Heritage Month → Native American Heritage Month – Seems to be the most common iteration, according to Google ngrams MrGnocci (talk) 08:24, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

• Oppose: The Ngram shows that NAHM is more common than NAIHM only by a hair and only very recently—and this can be attributed to the decline of the entire concept rather than to an increase in usage of a specific term. In fact, NAHM outstripped NAIHM (by a tiny amount) while declining. It stands to reason, then, that most mentions overall of this concept would read NAIHM rather than NAHM. 〜 Festucalex • talk 08:48, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

  That seems to be a misreading of that graph. "Native American Indian Heritage Month" is by far the least used of the three terms on the graph as of 2019 (last year shown), and has been except for 1987-1990. Station1 (talk) 18:50, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

    Self-trout: correct, Station1, I dramatically misread it. 〜 Festucalex • talk 19:11, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

• Support per nom. "Native American Indian" is a weird hybrid of "Native American" and "American Indian". The correct title appears to be either "National American Indian Heritage Month"[1], "National Native American Heritage Month"[2], or "Native American Heritage Month"[3], and any one of those would be acceptable.

  Comment (as nom): I completely agree with this point, and wouldn't be too bothered if it was changed to one of the alternatives here. MrGnocci (talk) 15:34, 7 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
