Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Nation's 
   schools should honor Native Americans for their contributions to 
               American history, culture, and 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 
the Nation's schools should honor Native Americans for their 
contributions to American history, culture, and education.
