The bill designates November to be recognized as National American Indian Heritage Month and reads in part: "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the month of November, 1990, is designated as National American Indian Heritage Month, and the President is authorized and requested to call upon federal, state, and local governments, interested groups and organizations, and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities. Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, Congressman Eni Faleomavaega of Samoa, letters of support from many Tribes, and The American Indian Heritage Foundation, are among the many credited for the bill's passage. The American Indian Heritage Foundation has spent several years securing national support and the more than 270 necessary votes. Many local and national programs will be sponsoring ceremonies and activities for the month and Indian people throughout America are encouraged to celebrate and share with the non-Indian society the value and contribution Native American Indians have given to America.
