| 678 | 6:20 pm PDT, Jul 2 | Ms. | Nature Monroe | Idaho | United States | I cannot believe there is not a Native American Holiday already! Christopher Columbus has one and sure as HELL doesn't deserve it.... The Native American people have gone through hell and back.... And most are still there..... During the summertime when I was younger my family would go out to Wanblee, South Dakota..... I've seen how a lot of Native Americans have to live.... I saw it all first hand..... Do they just not deserve anything? As far as I'm concerned this is the VERY least they could do for The Native Americans after all the hell they've been put through! |

We do not need this to have our hearts attached to roots of trees, for that is already the case, we do not need this to have our songs heard upon Mother Earth carried by the whisper of the wind, for our song of heartened strength in our preservering stroll of survival is already the case. When the gleam of Mother Earth's embrace fills the wonder of my heart with the pride of who we are and what we shall always be, what else could we want. We want a Holiday! we want the respect that has been given to everyone else and we, are here still awaiting our day. Hear me now! Let blood be your ink, and let thunder be your pen to carve upon the mind the stories of a great people, who lived who died and strive, for life of... freedoms song. I want to thank all of my brothers and sisters who have taken the time to strive for this, our... HOLIDAY. |

| 651 | 9:01 pm PST, Dec 3 | Matthew A. | Texas | United States | I don't know why there is not a holiday for this nations First Peoples. We have other holidays that should not even BE holidays. We need a day for our own. |
Cherokeewinds Natives Holiday
We, the undersigned, implore you, the President, to honor our native american Brethren and their ancestors with a day of remembrance. We beg that you institute this holiday before the end of 2002. It is critical that we as a people recognize the history of the land we have built our nation upon.
Our Native Americans deserve a holiday of recognization for their history, their struggle for the continuance of their heritage and their native american traditions. There must also be a time for reflection on the horrible injustices that the native american's have faced in the past and continue to struggle with today.
Please support a day of remembrance for the native ancestors of our great nation. The men that were here long before the arrival of the Mayflower.
