: : Hi Chris,
:      I work for the National Association of College stores, and I just wanted you to know that November is Native American Indian Heritage Month.  We start shipping to our stores in mid-October, book assortments commemorating the history, culture and art of Native Americans.
:      Unfortunately this promotion does not receive the media coverage of many of the other promos that we do. Actually it receives very little compared to the others.  I don't know what can be done except to notify persons in the media or newspapers.
:      I don't know of anything though that links Alaska Native Americans in particular. 
:      I also will send a message to our representatives from Ohio.
:              good luck to you



: : 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.
