                               RESOLUTION


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

Whereas Native Americans 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--
            (1) schools across the Nation should teach about the role 
        of Native Americans in American history and culture and lead 
        community service projects that further that education; and
            (2) there should be a legal public holiday honoring Native 
        Americans.
