Key Points

  • This resolution officially honors the history and achievements of over 5 million American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian women. It highlights their roles in shaping their communities and the United States through public service, military duty, and the arts.
  • The measure points to specific trailblazers like Minnie Spotted Wolf, the first Native American woman in the Marine Corps, and Mary Golda Ross, NASA's first Native American engineer. It also recognizes modern business owners who employ over 72,000 people and generate $11 billion in yearly revenue.
  • Beyond giving praise, the Senate acknowledges that these women still face major hurdles. The resolution calls for more investment to improve their access to healthcare, education, and the justice system to help remove barriers that have existed for generations.
