History and Origin of National Cherries Jubilee Day:
We found no factual information about this Holiday but the food industry appears to have created and promoted many food related special days.
We did not find any documentation confirming this to be a “National” day and we found no congressional records or presidential proclamation.
Native American Day – fourth Friday of the month
This day is set aside to honor and celebrate Native Americans, the first Americans to live in the U.S. Still commonly referred to as American Indians, the term “Native Americans” has been used in recent years as a sign of respect and recognition that they were indeed the first indigenous people to populate our great and wonderful nation.
By the time the first explorers and settlers arrived from Europe, Native Americans had populated the entire North American continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the Northern reaches of Canada.
If your Homeschooling like Charlie and I are then today is a great day to learn about Native Americans.
History and Origin of Native American Day
This Holiday dates back to 1939. California Governor Culbert Olsen dedicated this day as American Indian Day. The State of Nevada soon followed suit. Over the years, the name and date was changed.
In 1968, then Governor Ronald Reagan made a resolution which was passed in the State Assembly declaring the fourth Friday in September as Native American Day. Nevada also made this an official Holiday. Over the years, the popularity of this Holiday grew and became popular across the country.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
