                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that schools 
   across the Nation should teach about the role of Native American 
  Indians in American history and culture and lead community service 
                 projects that further that education.

Whereas Native American Indians have given much to this country;
Whereas an emphasis on freedom, justice, patriotism, and representative 
        government have always been elements of Native American culture;
Whereas Native Americans have shown their willingness to fight and die for this 
        Nation in foreign lands;
Whereas Native Americans honor the American flag at every powwow and at many 
        gatherings and remember all veterans through song, music, and dance;
Whereas Native Americans honor, through song, the men and women of this country 
        who have fought for freedom;
Whereas Native Americans love the land that has nurtured their parents, 
        grandparents, and unnamed elders since the beginning of their recorded 
        history; and
Whereas Native Americans honor the Earth that has brought life to the people 
        since time immemorial: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
schools across the Nation should teach about the role of Native 
American Indians in American history and culture and lead community 
service projects that further that education.
