This Resolution acknowledges that State and Federal statutes <br />recognize this day as a holiday but seeks to promote more inclusivity. <br />Specifically, this Resolution also recognizes and honors the contributions of <br />people indigenous to the United States, also known as Native Americans, on <br />the second Monday of October. Natives Americans have graced our country <br />in general, and our community in particular, with many gifts, both materially <br />and culturally, from which we are all greatly enriched. Native Americans are <br />deserving of such honor. <br />I ask for your support for this Resolution at our September 28, 2020 meeting. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Henry Davis, Jr., '%- <br />South Bend Common Council, 2"d District <br />�LLKA✓ <br />Loriamann <br />South Bend Common Council, At Large <br />
