history, culture, and education.
Whereas Native
Americans have given much to this country;
Whereas an emphasis
on freedom, justice, patriotism, and representative government
have always been elements of Native American culture;
Whereas Native
Americans have shown their willingness to fight and die for this
Nation in foreign lands;
Whereas Native
Americans honor the American flag at every powwow and at many
gatherings and remember all veterans through song, music, and
dance;
Whereas Native
Americans honor, through song, the men and women of this country
who have fought for freedom;
Whereas Native
Americans love the land that has nurtured their parents,
grandparents, and unnamed elders since the beginning of their
recorded history; and
Whereas Native
Americans honor the Earth that has brought life to the people
since time immemorial:
Now, therefore, be
it Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives
that the Nation's schools should honor Native Americans for their
contributions to American history, culture, and education.
