We are glad to see this bill get signed! Our children and future leaders are able to wear their traditional regalia and represent their Nations with pride as they graduate!
On this California Native American Day 🪶⭕️, we stand with pride: Governor Newsom has signed AB 1369, affirming the right of Native students to wear traditional tribal regalia at high school graduations.
Alongside this milestone, Governor Newsom signed:
🔺AB 221 – Tribal Nation Grant Fund
🔺AB 263 – Protecting salmon & watersheds
🔺AB 977 – Tribal burial sites & repatriation
🔺AB 1004 – Protecting tribal financial records
Gratitude to for all his efforts on behalf of California Indian Peoples and to all of our students who stood strong and spoke out to protect and defend their rights! 🦅
For all the students who came before, and all those yet to come — every child matters 🧡🧡🧡 We celebrate those who graduate, and honor those who never got the chance in systems not built for our success. We keep fighting. We are still here. We are rising.
