There
are
42
members
present,
there's
a
quorum
in
recognition
of
tribal
day
in
nevada.
We
will
have
some
special
presentations
today.
Each
of
you
have
packets
on
your
desk
that
include
nevada,
tribal
nation
facts
and
essential
understandings
maps
of
the
reservations
and
colonies
of
nevada
and
the
traditional
indigenous
territories,
a
fact
sheet
on
the
stewart,
indian
school
cultural
center
and
museum
here
in
carson
city
and
a
list
of
the
tribal
nations
and
organizations,
along
with
the
names
of
the
chairs
of
those
organizations
and
their
contact
information.
A
I'll,
take
a
point
of
personal
privilege.
Of
course.
Today
we
celebrate
nevada's
first
resident
as
we
honor
nevada
tribes.
Today,
at
the
state
legislature,
nevada
is
comprised
of
27
tribes,
bans
and
colonies.
These
tribes
are
all
unique
with
traditions
that
span
generations
as
one
of
the
most
diverse
legislatures
in
the
country.
I
think
it's
only
fitting
that
we
recognize
the
vast
diversity
that
exists
within
our
indigenous
community
right
here
in
our
great
state.
Today
we
honor
their
unique
languages,
cultures,
histories
and
governments
in
nevada,
tribal
communities
and
their
contributions
to
nevada.
A
We
owe
our
statehood
to
the
indigenous
people
that
came
before
us.
In
1864
nevada's
population
was
too
small
to
be
recognized
as
a
state.
However,
abraham
lincoln,
through
the
enabling
act
allowed
nevada
to
join
the
union
by
granting
our
indigenous
people
state
citizenship
nearly
60
years
before
most
indigenous
people
became
citizens
in
1924.,
our
silver
state
and
our
battleborn
heritage
was
a
spirit
of
an
indigenous
community
that
came
long
before
us.
A
If
you
have
a
moment
today
reflect
on
our
history
reflect
on
where
it
truly
started
and
take
a
moment
to
thank
the
nevada,
indian
commission
for
not
only
being
a
liaison,
but
an
advocate
connecting
our
tribal
lands
with
our
federal
state
and
local
partners
at
this
time.
Would
you
please
stand
for
a
blessing
given
by
83
years,
young
elder
florence
millet
of
the
duckwater
shoshone
reservation?
A
Florence
is
the
mother
of
six
children,
grandmother
to
14

great-grandmother
to

time
with
her
family
gives
florence
the
greatest
joy
pre-kovitch.
