Senate Passes Resolution Recognizing November as
“National Native American Heritage Month”
WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today applauded the Senate’s passage of a resolution he sponsored recognizing November as “National Native American Heritage Month.” The resolution was adopted by unanimous consent.
“In South Dakota, Native Americans have a rich and vibrant history that is deeply woven into the fabric of our society,” said Rounds. “We honor their heritage in many ways in our state, from attending a wacipi or powwow and showcasing their ornate tribal art in our museums to celebrating Native Americans’ Day instead of Columbus Day. Recognizing November as National Native American Heritage Month, we are able to highlight the many contributions of Native Americans to the history of our state and nation.”
