May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Did you know May holds particular significance, marking the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in 1843 and the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, largely built by Chinese laborers? This month's celebrations trace back to the dedication of a week in May 1979 to commemorate Asian Pacific American Heritage, later expanding to officially recognize the diversity of AANHPI cultures by Congress in 1992. In his 2021 Presidential Proclamation, President Biden highlighted the remarkable history and achievements of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. Despite challenges, these communities have shown resilience, courage, and leadership, enriching America's culture and society with their diverse contributions. AANHPIs have played integral roles in shaping the United States' history and identity.

The 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 was celebrated on June 2, 2024. The act granted full citizenship to all Indigenous people born in the United States. Here are some things to know about the Indian Citizenship Act: Native Americans have been part of the history of the United States for thousands of years. In the late 19th century, the US government built detention camps on Native American homelands and established a separate legal system for them. The act did not include voting rights, which were not settled for another 40 years. Indigenous people continue to fight for voting rights, with some suing the state for voting barriers. There is work to be done still. Some legal experts believe that the act was a retroactive correction for the mistake of allowing tribal members to serve in World War I as if they were citizens. Many Native Americans hold dual citizenship in a federally recognized tribe and the United States.
