Friday, November 21, and Saturday, November 22, 2025
11 a.m.–4 p.m.
While the North Carolina Museum of History is closed for renovation, the 2025 festival will take place at the NC Museum of Art, 2110 Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh. More information is forthcoming.
The AIHC—with support from its community partners, the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs and the North Carolina American Indian Commission—has been the culminating event in honor of American Indian Heritage Month in North Carolina for more than 25 years.
The AIHC consists of a virtual education day on Friday and an in-person festival on Saturday. The celebration highlights traditional and contemporary artistic, historical, and cultural contributions of American Indian communities in North Carolina. The consistent theme and message of AIHC, as expressed by its advisory board, is visibility: Indigenous people are still here!
