Google kicked off Native American Heritage Month with a special Doodle on Sunday, showcasing traditional beadwork from the Plains Apache. The tech giant designed the two 'O's in its logo using circular beaded ornaments created between 1890 and 1909, which are part of the National Museum of the American Indian's collection.
Google's Instagram account also highlighted other artifacts from the museum, including a beaded silk sash made by the Coushatta in 1875 and a Kickapoo hair ornament from 1900. These items were displayed to honor the cultural contributions of Indigenous peoples in the United States.
Native American Heritage Month has been observed every November since President George H.W. Bush signed a resolution in 1990. The month-long celebration aims to recognize the historic and cultural impact of Native Americans.
