Nov. 28, 2008 - Today In History - American Indian Day
«
on:
November 28, 2008, 07:30:46 am »
Today is Friday, Nov. 28, the 333rd day of 2008. There are 33 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
AMERICAN INDIAN DAY
This holiday was originally conceived by Dr. Arthur Parker and along with a Boy Scout Troop in 1912 celebrated
a day to honor the American Indians.
In 1914, an American Indian named Red Fox James traveled on horseback across the United States to spread
the idea of this holiday.
In 1915, the American Indian Association met for an annual meeting and designated September 28th American Indian Day.
In 1916, the New York State legislature proclaimed the fourth Friday in September to be American Indian Day. Other states soon followed suit with declaring similar holidays in September.
In 1990, President Bush proclaimed November 1990 to be American Indian Heritage Month (it has been proclaimed as such each year since).
There are more American Indian people in the U.S. Armed Forces than any other ethnic group.
Thank you for your service!
