Early advocates, such as Dr. Arthur C. Parker and Rev. Sherman Coolidge, pushed for the creation of American Indian Day in the early 20th century. In 1915, Red Fox James sought state support for a day honoring Native Americans but without national success. New York established the first American Indian Day in 1916, and other states followed suit with varying dates. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush officially designat- ed November as National Native American Heritage Month, which has been annually proclaimed under various names since 1994.
