I had a dream that led to this revelation...perfect timing for Thanksgiving I think
Presidential Proclamation -- National Native American Heritage Month, 2012
In paying tribute to Native American achievements, we must also acknowledge the parts of our shared history that have been marred by violence and tragic mistreatment. For centuries, Native Americans faced cruelty, injustice, and broken promises. As we work together to forge a brighter future, we cannot shy away from the difficult aspects of our past. That is why, in 2009, I signed a bipartisan resolution that finally recognized the sad and painful chapters in our shared history. My Administration remains dedicated to writing a new chapter in that history by strengthening our government-to-government relationship with tribal nations while enhancing tribal sovereignty and tribal self-determination.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2012 as National Native American Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to commemorate this month with appropriate programs and activities, and to celebrate November 23, 2012, as Native American Heritage Day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.
Interesting how it all comes out in the open now !
What should kids really be taught about Thanksgiving? Shocking answers from young Americans who say kindergartners must learn about GENOCIDE of Native Americans and the colonial land grab
The Indians were treated worse than slaves,slaves were housed,feed,clothed,cared for,the Native American Indians were not given that luxury. Thank you for being a nice person......................
