Here they are! (Yes I am answering my own question. Comments are welcome.) To stop the confusion.
Jewish History Month (yes there is one!) is in May.

Native American History Month (yes there is one!) is in November.
Hispanic Heritage Month is in September-October.
Asian/Pacific Islander History Month is also in May.
Women's History Month is in March (watch the comments roll in next month! ...not).

So next time you think there isn't a history month for said group of people, do your research!

And for those who complain about recognition, this is no one's fault but their own for not having their history month as widely recognized as BHM. Work to change it.

And, Antonio, I wouldn't have included sources if they "only exist in my mind." Clever try, though.

Thank you for this post. As a Native woman I got tired of hearing people say there is no Native history month. I am greatly happy that they are standing up for the rights of people of color. At the same time it is just as ignorant to not know it exists. So thanx for the great list. Awesome!
At the same time you cannot say it is anyone's fault besides the government for not having it recognized. Some groups of people are so oppressed that they are not heard. For example, many people believe that Natives are extinct or still live in teepees, when this "knowledge" is so abundant it makes things dificult. And this knowledge is not abundant because of Native people, it is the government, and ignorant people, and racists, etc.. that make this happen. So please do not blame any group of oppressed people for not having their history heard because Believe Me They Are Fighting For It!!!!!

I believe there shouldn't be a History month, people should celebrate their history every time. I live my history, I never get tired of listening to my music, and I defend my history whenever it is inappropriately represented. Having history months for every group wouldn't be harmful, but it is not useful either.

that's cool, but they still aren't recognized on the terms of Black history month and probably never will be.
Why do the Jewish and Asian/Pacific Islander people have to share a month, haveing more than one in the same month takes away from it.
Also why do women get a month and men don't. That's the same as Blacks getting a month and no other race.

As I said in another question on Black History Month, THANK YOU JUBILANT_SLEEP! Now maybe people who are so concerned about Black people can give it a rest now!

Yes I knew that! I have no clue why SOME white people insist that there's ONLY a black history month!
