Honoring the United Warrior Band of the Seminole Nation/John Horse Band.
This resolution (HR 564) is a ceremonial recognition by the Texas House of Representatives, not a bill with policy changes. It honors the United Warrior Band of the Seminole Nation/John Horse Band and its leader, Chief Thomi Lee Perryman, for preserving the historical legacy of Black Seminoles. The resolution cites the group's historical significance, including John Horse's leadership, the Black Seminoles' role in Texas frontier defense, and their contributions to Mexican and U.S. military history. It has no legal effect or direct impact on constituents - it simply expresses the House's formal appreciation for the organization's cultural preservation efforts.
