A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
| To designate the last week of September as "American
Indian Week."
|
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
significant contributions towards shaping Ohio into the great
state that it is today. The ancient cultures built monumental
earthworks in Ohio encoded with astronomical alignments that have
captured the world's attention, and many of Ohio's geographic
features and cities have historic Native American Indian names;
and |
| WHEREAS, American Indians who have contributed to the rich
history and culture of our state include the members of the
ancient cultures now known as the Adena, Hopewell, and Fort
Ancient, and historic tribes that include the Shawnee, Miami,
Delaware, Potawatomi, Seneca, Wyandot, Peoria, and Ottawa; and |
| WHEREAS, American Indians have made an indelible mark on the
landscape, history, and culture of Ohio. Today, many American
Indians call Ohio "home," working and raising their families here;
and |
| WHEREAS, American Indians living in Ohio can be justifiably
proud of their rich heritage, spirituality, and traditions. It is
important that they receive encouragement from the state's elected
officials to continue teaching their culture to their children and
sharing it with their fellow Ohioans; now therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, designate the fourth week of September as
"American Indian Week," in conjunction with "American Indian Day"
on the fourth Saturday of September, to honor the significant
influence that American Indians have had on Ohio and to encourage
the teaching and sharing of their culture; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the news
media of Ohio. |
