A resolution designating February 16, 2026, as "National Elizabeth Peratrovich Day".

This resolution designates February 16, 2026, as National Elizabeth Peratrovich Day to honor her role in passing the first anti-discrimination law in U.S. history (the 1945 Alaska Territorial Anti-Discrimination Act). It calls on the American public to recognize her legacy as a Tlingit civil rights leader who fought for equality and encourages continued efforts toward justice for Alaska Natives and Native Americans. The resolution has no binding legal effect but serves as a symbolic tribute to her advocacy.
