This resolution designates February 16, 2025, as "National Elizabeth Peratrovich Day" to commemorate the life and legacy of Elizabeth Wanamaker Peratrovich. A Tlingit woman, Elizabeth dedicated her life to combating discrimination and advocating for social equality and civil liberties for Alaska Native and Native American communities. Her tireless efforts were instrumental in the passage of the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945 in Alaska, which was the first anti-discrimination law enacted in the United States. The resolution calls upon the people of the United States to observe this day by remembering Elizabeth Peratrovich's work and that of other civil rights leaders. It further encourages both the public and Members of Congress to honor her advocacy by continuing the important work of ensuring equality for Alaska Natives and Native Americans, building upon her enduring legacy.
