SAVMA Celebrates National Native American Heritage Month
Sunday, November 22, 2020 at 01:00PM
This month SAVMA celebrates and supports our colleagues, friends, family, neighbors, and communities that identify as Native American. According to the 2010 Census, 0.9% of the U.S. population, or 2.9 million people, identified as American Indian or Alaska Native alone, while 1.7% of the U.S. population, or 5.2 million people, identified as American Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination with another race. This is an increase since 2000 of over 39%. By 2060, the projected U.S. American Indian and Alaska Native population is estimated to reach 10 million people, or approximately 2.4% of the U.S. population.(1)
