Yesterday Was National Heritage Day: The First National Holiday for Native Americans

Yesterday, we celebrated Native Americans in our first national holiday: National Heritage Day. National Heritage Day, which was signed into law recently by President Bush, has not been highlighted as it should have been. Shall we make up for this and pay tribute to Native American men and women -- the first Americans?

(I) will start by highlighting several. And I hope that you will add to this list, with a bit of history on your choices.
