A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

To designate the last week of September as "American 1
Indian Week." 2

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):

       WHEREAS, American Indians have made and continue to make 3
significant contributions towards shaping Ohio into the great 4
state that it is today. The ancient cultures built monumental 5
earthworks in Ohio encoded with astronomical alignments that have 6
captured the world's attention, and many of Ohio's geographic 7
features and cities have historic Native American Indian names; 8
and 9

       WHEREAS, American Indians who have contributed to the rich 10
history and culture of our state include the members of the 11
ancient cultures now known as the Adena, Hopewell, and Fort 12
Ancient, and historic tribes that include the Shawnee, Miami, 13
Delaware, Potawatomi, Seneca, Wyandot, Peoria, and Ottawa; and 14

       WHEREAS, American Indians have made an indelible mark on the 15
landscape, history, and culture of Ohio. Today, many American 16
Indians call Ohio "home," working and raising their families here; 17
and 18

       WHEREAS, American Indians living in Ohio can be justifiably 19
proud of their rich heritage, spirituality, and traditions. It is 20
important that they receive encouragement from the state's elected 21
officials to continue teaching their culture to their children and 22
sharing it with their fellow Ohioans; now therefore be it 23

       RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly 24
of the State of Ohio, designate the fourth week of September as 25
"American Indian Week," in conjunction with "American Indian Day" 26
on the fourth Saturday of September, to honor the significant 27
influence that American Indians have had on Ohio and to encourage 28
the teaching and sharing of their culture; and be it further 29

       RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives 30
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the news 31
media of Ohio. 32
