Our organization is the voice of our American Indian community and beyond in the State of Texas.

This bill deserves passage and will bring deserved recognition of the historic, cultural, and social contributions that American Indian communities and leaders have made to the State of Texas. " It is inappropriate for Indian children and children of America to celebrate a day honoring a person for discovering a nation of people and not having a holiday paying tribute to the people of those nations." Founder - Peggy Larney

These words were the beginning of the start of a grass root movement and the start to use the leverage of our Sovereign Nations to unite from Urban American Indians. We are creating platforms as advocates to honor our elders and eliminate racism, prejudice, and racism for our future generations to strengthen their identity

Therefore, the American Indian Heritage Day Core Committee created H.B. No.174, A Bill that is now a law in the State of Texas that was created from American Indian Heritage Day. We are celebrating our 10th year anniversary to promote equity and equality, we approach all issues that are under the lens of Genocide and address the crisis of historical trauma. We have expanded our narrative to create ICARE and also other cause-related items to address education, arts, and cultural preservation.

I wanted to take a moment to thank our Department of Public Safety, Lighthorse Police, and Communications office for their swift response and attention to protocol and detail during yesterday’s incident. These professionals doing their job ensured that a threatening situation did not turn into tragedy and we are grateful for their efforts and diligence. I also want to remind everyone that our professionals in the Children & Family Services division have a tough job, that can sometimes involve highly emotional and stressful situations at times, and they should be remembered in our daily prayers for the job that they do. I appreciate each and every one of them.

Unfortunately, these situations arise, but we must be prepared through crisis management and training and thankfully, we’ve made a commitment in those areas to enhance the safety of employees and citizens. Again, MVTO!
