SRES 450 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution 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.

SRES 450 is a symbolic Senate resolution supporting the designation of the second Monday in October 2025 as "Indigenous Peoples' Day" to honor Indigenous contributions and history. It does not create a new federal holiday but encourages public observance and recognizes the work of Indigenous communities. The resolution specifically urges the Senate to honor Indigenous Peoples' contributions, support their cultural awareness, and express backing for federal recognition of this day. This resolution directly affects federal recognition efforts, building on existing state and local observances by over 200 municipalities and 17 states. It is a non-binding expression of support, not a policy change.
