Hi Folks,
The following is a message that I sent to my representatives in
Congress. It is a situation that has been bothering me for awhile now and I finally decided to see if I could do something about it. It occurred to me that you might be interested in sending something similar to your representatives too. If you are, thank you for your help. If not, sorry I bothered you. Just delete me! :o)

Having just finished celebrating Black History Month, and currently
celebrating Women's History Month, I can't help wonder why we don't
celebrate American Indian/Alaska Native Month. We hear lots of news
about minorities, usually focused on Blacks, women, Hispanics and
others, but never on American Indians/Alaska Natives. I think it is
time this oversight was remedied. As representatives of a state that
has a rich Native heritage, I would like to ask you to introduce
legislation designating a month to celebrate American Indian/Alaska
Native history.
Thank you very much for your help.
