HJR 25-1019 Colorado House · 2025 Regular Session

Native American Veterans

HJR 25-1019 is a symbolic resolution honoring Native American veterans' military service and contributions. It expresses recognition of their disproportionate service throughout U.S. history, including roles as code talkers in WWII and current high per-capita service rates. The resolution does not create new programs, funding, or legal obligations; it solely affirms Colorado's commitment to acknowledging their sacrifices and addressing unique hardships faced by Native American veterans. It directly affects Native American veterans, service members, and their communities in Colorado, particularly those connected to tribes like the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute. The resolution passed both chambers of the Colorado legislature in February 2025 as a non-binding statement of support.
