Expressing support for the designation of the second Monday in October 2025 as "Indigenous Peoples' Day" to celebrate and honor Indigenous Peoples and their shared history and culture.

This resolution expresses strong support for designating the second Monday in October 2025 as "Indigenous Peoples' Day." It seeks to celebrate and honor Indigenous Peoples, acknowledging their shared history and culture, and recognizing their significant contributions to the United States. The House of Representatives highlights that many local and state governments already observe this day, contrasting it with Columbus Day which does not adequately reflect Indigenous experiences. The resolution underscores the long history of Indigenous Peoples in the lands now part of the United States, and the profound impact of Western contact, including suppression and forced assimilation. Ultimately, the resolution encourages the people of the United States to observe "Indigenous Peoples' Day" with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and formally supports its designation as a Federal holiday .
