The next item on the agenda, Bill 14 -100, would recognize the second Monday on October as Indigenous <br />People's Day also known as Native Americans Day. <br />In that Henry Davis authored the bill. Karen asked him to make the presentation. Henry said there was <br />a misconception that this bill would replace or negate Columbus Day traditionally celebrated on the <br />same day. He said the bill was intended to honor Native Americans. He then read a letter from the <br />Pokagon Band, the only federally recognized tribe in the area which said that Native Americans <br />celebrate their heritage each year on September 21. They do not want to supplant Columbus Day. <br />(Letter attached) With that in the record, Henry asked the bill be continued indefinitely. On motions by <br />Dr. Ferlic and Derek Dieter affirmed by all, that was done. <br />Karen White adjourned the meeting at 2:42 P.M. <br />VRespectfully Submitted, Gif I(� <br />-� � <::: 2, <br />Karen White, Chairperson <br />Personnel & Finance Committee <br />
