  MAFIA: Make America Free of Indians Again

  RACIST CONTROVERSY: On Halloween 2019, Pres. Don John Trump proclaimed November 2019 as National American History and Founders Month [14] to celebrate the first European founders and colonizers of America. On October 13th of the same year, he issued a proclamation recognizing Columbus Day and not Indigenous Peoples' Day [15]. Some journalists have suggested that "National American History and Founders Month" is nothing but a racist attempt to subvert attention from National Native American Heritage Month [16] and stifle Indigenous voices [17] by announcing a celebration that can be viewed as opposing and contradictory to what National Native American Heritage Month is supposed to highlight and honor [18, 19].

At least Marlon Brando tried to right the wrongs

This landmark bill honoring America's tribal people represented a major step in the establishment of this celebration. It began in 1976 when a Cherokee/Osage Indian named Jerry C. Elliott-High Eagle authored Native American Awareness Week legislation the first historical week of recognition in the nation for native peoples.

This led to 1986 with then Pres. Reagan proclaiming Nov. 23–30, 1986, as "American Indian Week."

This commemorative month aims to provide a platform for Native people in the United States of America to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts, dance, ways, and concepts of life. This gives Native people the opportunity to express to their community, both city, county and state officials their concerns and solutions for building bridges of understanding and friendship in their local area.

Federal Agencies are encouraged to provide educational programs for their employees regarding Native American history, rights, culture and contemporary issues, to better assist them in their jobs and for overall awareness.
