Asians, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians have a rich history and cultural heritage that is often ignored in the U.S. Unfortunately, when stories are retold about AANHPI communities and experiences, they tend to center on hardship and exclusion. Parks and monuments must reflect the U.S.’ diversity and chronicle the past more honestly and inclusively—including the achievements of AANHPI people. Public lands should also address the ongoing impacts of colonization, dispossession and cultural erasure on these communities (and distinguish between and among different cultures). Here are some of the parks and historic sites that preserve and share the stories of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander people and communities in this country.

Getting to know other cultures and their unique attributes is only one of the reasons we celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
