A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
| To designate the last week of September as "Native
American Week."
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO (THE SENATE CONCURRING):
WHEREAS, Native Americans have made countless contributions
towards shaping Ohio into the great state that it is today. For
example, they have influenced the geography of the state from the
burial mounds that dot the landscape to the names of towns
throughout the state; and |
WHEREAS, Native American tribes that enhanced the rich
history and culture of our state include those that were
indigenous to the region, including the Hopewell, Adena, Erie,
Shawnee, and Kickapoo, and others that migrated to the region,
including the Delaware, Miami, Ottawa, Seneca, and Wyandot; and |
WHEREAS, These tribes and their people have made an indelible
mark on the landscape, history, and culture of Ohio. Today, many
Native Americans continue to call Ohio home, living, working, and
raising their families here; and |
WHEREAS, Native Americans 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
"Native American Week," in conjunction with "Native American
Indian Day" on the fourth Saturday of September, to honor the
significant influence that Native Americans 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. |
