Rep.
Rep. Romero sees no opposition to the bill, especially after the committee heard from Corrina Bow, chairwoman for the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah on Monday afternoon. Bow talked about how important it is that children from Utah’s eight sovereign tribal nations be able to celebrate their cultural identities at their educational milestones.
Bow said that Indigenous students are the least likely to graduate from high school of any racial population in the U.S. Some of those states include California, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington, Bow said.
Kids of Dutch decent can wear wooden shoes. Greeks can wear togas.
There has to be a legislative bill passed to “allow” this?
It’s really sad that this wasn’t available for Elizebeth Warren
My kids are Dutch descendants. Can they wear wooden shoes?
Why would this not be allowed by default? Gotta love this state.
'Allow?' So we will steal their land (once part of Mexico) and we will allow them to wear the clothes that represent their families and cultures (bc not all native cultures dress the same)? And it took a bill to do this, why?
One of my favorite things about high school graduation in Southwest Colorado💚
We needed a whole law for that? First Amendment was insufficient?
