Native American History Month

Happy Native American History Month!
President Barack Obama made a good move when he proclaimed November American Indian History Month. The Native Americans have been lobbying for a History Month to call their own for a long time, and I must say out of everyone, they deserve one the most. The Native Americans were the first Americans, not only that but they've gone through just as much persecution and oppression as any other races have, if not more.

Released October, 30th in the Year of the Nine, this proclamation makes November officially the American Indian's History Month. This proclamation also allocates millions of dollars to the help and preservation of the Indian peoples.

17 million has been given to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the use of bettering America's Native Peoples, to be used for facilities and the betterment of lives.
