Native American Heritage Month on TikTok

Every November, the U.S. celebrates Native American Heritage Month to educate and promote understanding of the diverse and rich history of Indigenous and Native American people in the country. It is important to honor and appreciate the culture, achievements, and contributions of the first inhabitants of the U.S.

On TikTok, the #NativeFamily community is a vibrant and growing group of creators, users, and artists. Through family traditions, music, food, and dance, Native American stories are shared daily on TikTok. This month, we will continue sharing stories through #NativeFamily and special LIVE programming, as well as organizing a virtual event for Native creators to connect and collaborate.

The #NativeFamily on TikTok is a small but powerful community, with over 600K video views under #NativeFamily, more than 800M video views under #NativeTikTok, nearly 5M video views under #NativeAmericanTikTok, and over 100M video views under #IndigenousPeoplesDay. From popular creators like @420doggface208 to emerging talents like @geronimo.warrior and @giiwedinindizhinikaaz, and two-spirit creator @chokeacolaa, the Native American and Indigenous community on TikTok showcases creativity, authenticity, and diversity.

Native American Heritage Month goes beyond recognition; it aims to share, amplify, and celebrate the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and interests within the #NativeFamily. We invite the TikTok community to join us in a month-long series of educational, inspiring, and uplifting programs that highlight the beautiful culture and complex history of #NativeFamily.

We hope you will join our #NativeFamily on TikTok LIVE as we showcase the diverse experiences and interests of this community, ranging from Native and Indigenous community education to food traditions and craftsmanship. To kick off the month, @nativewomanruns will be going LIVE tonight at 5:00 PM PST as part of the TikTok Conversations series. @nativewomanruns ##thankyou ##myfirstlive ##nativeamericantiktok ##nativeamericanmonth ##indigenouswoman ##nativetiktoks ##indigenoustiktok ##navajo ##nativepride ♬ original sound - music_scenery
