AJR113,1,1
1
Relating to:
recognizing the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day.
AJR113,1,5
2
Whereas, the area known today as Wisconsin is located on ancestral and
3
contemporary lands that have been called home by Indigenous nations since time
4
immemorial, including the Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe (Anishinaabe),
5
Potawatomi, and other tribal nations; and
AJR113,1,12
6
Whereas, Wisconsin is home today to eleven federally recognized tribes: the
7
Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Forest County Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk
8
Nation, Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Lac du Flambeau
9
Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, Oneida
10
Nation, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Sokaogon (Mole Lake) Band of
11
Lake Superior Chippewa, St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, and
12
Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians; and
AJR113,2,2
13
Whereas, the Indigenous peoples who lived on this land long before the arrival
14
of European settlers endured a history of dispossession, broken treaties, violence,
1
forced removal, and injustice—a history that must be acknowledged and reconciled
2
as we seek a brighter future for all Wisconsinites; and
AJR113,2,7
3
Whereas, despite this painful history, the Indigenous peoples of Wisconsin
4
have endured with resilience and continue to contribute immeasurably to the
5
state’s history, culture, economy, environment, governance, and community life,
6
including through traditional knowledge, philosophy, science, agriculture, industry,
7
labor, and the arts; and
AJR113,2,12
8
Whereas, the State of Wisconsin recognizes its responsibility to work toward
9
eliminating discrimination against Indigenous peoples, to promote practices and
10
policies that honor the state’s Indigenous roots and history, to affirm Indigenous
11
peoples as contemporary peoples, and to maintain and strengthen genuine
12
government-to-government relationships with tribal nations; and
AJR113,2,16
13
Whereas, Indigenous Peoples Day was first proposed in 1977 at the United
14
Nations–sponsored International Conference on Discrimination Against
15
Indigenous Populations in the Americas and is now recognized across the United
16
States and beyond; and
AJR113,2,20
17
Whereas, Indigenous Peoples Day serves as an important occasion to reflect
18
upon the experiences of Indigenous peoples, to celebrate their contributions, and to
19
commit to a future of equity, partnership, and shared prosperity; now, therefore, be
20
it
AJR113,3,2
21
Resolved by the
assembly
, the
senate
concurring, That
the Wisconsin
22
State Legislature recognizes the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples
23
Day in order to promote appreciation, recognition, solidarity, reconciliation,
1
understanding, friendship, and continued partnership among all people and the
2
Indigenous peoples of this land.
