A MEMORIAL

REQUESTING THAT NEW MEXICO HISTORY WITH AN EMPHASIS ON LAND GRANTS AND NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS.

WHEREAS, knowledge of our past is essential for us to understand our present and to forge our future; and

WHEREAS, New Mexico's history is deeply affected by its land grant heritage, relations among its various peoples and the legacy of the Native Americans;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO that New Mexico history with an emphasis on land grants and Native American history be taught in schools.
