During the month of May, we celebrate Asian/Pacific Islander American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. A rather broad term, Asian/Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia (New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands), Micronesia (Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand, Hawaiian Islands, Rotuma, Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island). Enacted on October 28, 1992, in the U.S. The purpose of the law is to honor the achievements of Asian/Pacific Americans and to recognize their contributions to the United States.

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.
