Bill Summary

By Mr. Lewis of Framingham, a petition of Jack Patrick Lewis and others for the issuance of an annual proclamation by the Governor to designate the second Monday in October as indigenous people's day. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 6 of the General Laws by striking out Section 12V and replacing it with a new section that requires the Governor to annually issue a proclamation setting apart the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day. The proclamation would recommend that the day be observed with appropriate exercises in schools and elsewhere to acknowledge the history of genocide and discrimination against Indigenous peoples, and to recognize and celebrate the thriving cultures and continued resistance and resilience of Indigenous peoples and their tribal nations.
