• Recognition of the month of November as National Native American Heritage Month. This observance commemorates the history, heritage, and culture of Native American and Alaska Native people, and acknowledges the vast achievements of America’s original indigenous people.

• Recognition of 1984 Sikh Genocide. Sikh (Sikhism) is the fifth-largest religion in the world and today, there are more than 25 million Sikhs worldwide and more than 500,000 Sikh Americans, including over 40,000 in the Sacramento region. This recognition shows solidarity with the Sikh community and calls for truth, justice, and accountability to redress the systematic persecution of Sikhs.
