AI Summary
This resolution recognizes National Native American Heritage Month for November 2025, celebrating the rich history, culture, and contributions of Native Americans to the United States. The resolution highlights key demographic information, noting that in 2020 there were over 9.6 million individuals of American Indian and Alaska Native descent, and approximately 680,442 individuals of Native Hawaiian descent. It emphasizes Native Americans' vibrant cultures, languages, and traditions, and acknowledges their significant contributions across numerous fields including agriculture, environmental stewardship, medicine, music, and military service. The resolution specifically recognizes the Haudenosaunee Confederacy's influence on the U.S. Constitution and the critical role of Native American code talkers in World War I and II. Furthermore, it reaffirms the U.S. government's commitment to strengthening government-to-government relationships with Native American tribes and upholding federal trust responsibilities. The resolution not only designates November 2025 as National Native American Heritage Month and the Friday after Thanksgiving as Native American Heritage Day, but also encourages Americans to participate in appropriate programs and activities that honor and learn about Native American heritage and achievements.
