MEMORANDUM
| Posted: | November 2, 2023 09:43 AM |
|---|---|
| From: | Representative Christopher M. Rabb |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Establishing Indigenous Peoples' Day in Pennsylvania |
| This annual designation honors the rich history and contributions of the Erie, Haudenosaunee, Lenape, Munsee, Shawnee and Susquehannock on whose tribal lands our commonwealth exists. We have arrived at a time when more people have come to acknowledge the simple fact that we need no longer celebrate a man who never stepped foot on the mainland of what is now the United States of America in his failed attempt to find a quicker route to India on behalf of Spain. Please join in supporting this long overdue recognition of the Indigenous peoples who have been on these lands for at 21,000 years. |
