Native American Heritage Month
On August 3, 1990, President of the United States George H. W. Bush declared the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month, thereafter commonly referred to as Native American Heritage Month. The UF Health campus is located on lands that were once home to the Timucua Tribe. Today, there are two federally recognized tribes in Florida: The Miccosukee Tribe and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
