Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution expresses support for designating the second Monday in October 2026 as "Indigenous Peoples' Day" to celebrate and honor Native American peoples and their contributions to American history and culture. The resolution acknowledges that over 200 municipalities, 17 states, and Washington D.C. already recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day on this date, and it recognizes the historical contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples before and after Western contact with the Americas. The resolution calls on Americans to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and it expresses the Senate's support for making Indigenous Peoples' Day an official federal holiday. No specific funding is allocated by this resolution, as it is a symbolic statement of Senate support rather than legislation that creates new programs or spending.
