From: MIKECHEROKEE@aol.com Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 20:36:53 EDT Subject: NATIONAL HOLIDAY FOR NATIVE AMERICANS "UPDATE" To: undisclosed-recipients: ; United Native America _America _Indian _Made The Congressional Indian Caucus in Washington DC. has announced they will start the process of drafting a holiday bill to take before congress. They will circulate this bill around the country to Tribal Nations, allowing them the opportunity to have input on the wording of the bill. Kimberly Teehee of the Indian Caucus is asking for all Tribal Nations to pass resolutions in support of this holiday or official letters of support to be sent to her office. Her address is: 2187 Rayburn House, Office Building, Washington DC. 20515, phone # 202-225-3611, Also a copy should be sent to United Native America at Rt. 6 box 243, Muldrow, Okla. 74948. It is important for each and every one of us to contact a Tribal council member and ask that they present this issue to the full council to consider drafting letters of support for the national holiday issue. The Indian Caucus has heard us loud and clear, they are fully aware that the people want this holiday to become a reality! They need Tribal support to show congress that the Indian Nations are behind this issue too. With this support congress will have to acknowledge that the majority of Americans are for this holiday. After you receive this letter you will receive three more emails, one will be The Cherokee Nation Resolution, United Native America Resolution and a letter to congress members. Copy these letters and send them to your Tribal Nation to use as a reference to the holiday issue. We have transferred the holiday issue information to our new AOL account. All future email letters should be sent to this new address: MIKECHEROKEE@aol.com. Our email list is over one hundred people at this time so we have split the list and made it a blind copy to each person on the list. (we hope) This will make it easier to copy and resend our future letters. We would like to welcome all the new people that have joined our list over the past two weeks. Please click on the web sites below and you will find information on the holiday that will bring you up to date. Add these web sites to your favorites for future reference. It is important that we keep spreading the word on the holiday petition online. We have a holiday click on banner to the petition for people that have web sites and would like to display it. Just send us their email and we will send them the holiday banner. Founder of United Native America Mike L.
