It is a record of enormous contributions to this countryto its art and culture. its strength and spirit. its sense of history. and its sense of purpose. Native Americans have survived and have risen to distinction in the business. professional. academic. artistic. and political world. Moreover. almost 500 years after the first meeting between native Americans and European immigrants. the Nation has begun to fully appreciate the precious value and rich diversity of Indian cultures and their contribution to Americas social and spiritual development. The observance of a Native American Day has helped increase this awareness and appreciation. which underscores its importance on our calendars. I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to native Americans on this special day.
