AI Summary
This resolution proclaims 2025 as the Year of the Snake, recognizing the significance of the Lunar New Year in Asian cultures. The resolution highlights that the Lunar New Year is observed on the second new moon after the winter solstice and is the most important celebration of the year in many Asian countries, typically involving shared meals and community gatherings. It emphasizes the opportunity to celebrate the diversity and cultural richness of Asian American communities in Wisconsin, from long-established families to recent immigrants and refugees. The resolution also explores the symbolic meaning of the snake in Chinese culture, noting that snakes represent positive traits such as good luck, rebirth, and regality, contrary to their often negative depiction. By acknowledging the Lunar New Year, the resolution aims to promote cultural understanding, learn about Asian American traditions, and work towards a more equitable and inclusive future for the state, while inviting all Wisconsinites to appreciate the natural world and its lessons.
