D House District 200
Memo
This annual designation honors the rich history and contributions of the Erie, Haudenosaunee, Lenape, Munsee, Shawnee and Susquehannock on whose tribal lands our commonwealth exists.
We have arrived at a time when more people have come to acknowledge the simple fact that we need no longer celebrate a man who never stepped foot on the mainland of what is now the United States of America in his failed attempt to find a quicker route to India on behalf of Spain.
Please join in supporting this long overdue recognition of the Indigenous peoples who have been on these lands for at 21,000 years.
