           SUBJECT  :    California Indian Heritage Month

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims November 2009 as  
          California Indian Heritage Month, encourages its observance  
          with activities that celebrate our uniqueness as Americans,  
          and commends California Indian nations for their  
          outstanding contributions to this state.

           ANALYSIS  :    

          This resolution makes the following legislation findings:

          1. California Indians have made vital contributions to the  
             strength and diversity of our society through their  
             rich, cultural traditions and proud ancestry.

          2. In 2007, President Bush proclaimed November as National  
             American Indian Heritage Month in recognition of  
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                                ACR 41
                                                                Page  
          2

             American Indians and Alaskan Natives.

          3. Californians are working to protect and enhance tribal  
             resources in recognition of the sovereignty of the  
             California Indian nations to be self-governing,  
             self-supporting, and self-reliant.  

          4. As of the last census, over 423,000 American Indians  
             were living in California in 2007; and it is fitting to  
             recognize Native American Indians for their rich history  
             and commitment to the State of California.

          This resolution proclaims November 2009 as California  
          Indian Heritage Month, encourages its observance with  
          activities that celebrate our uniqueness as Americans, and  
          commends California Indian nations for their outstanding  
          contributions to this state.
