San Bernardino County is honoring the state's Native American heritage with festivities, as court employees get the day off.California Native American Day celebrates and honors the cultural contribution of Native Americans.
"We partnered with the judicial system to run a bill that would honor California's first people where the courts would be closed in honoring our ancestors and the resiliency of them," said Assemblymember James Ramos, D-Highland. "All throughout San Bernardino County we have so much cultural awareness with our tribal family and to celebrate them as California's first people is extremely important to not only the employees but the people of our community," said Judge Lisa Rogan, presiding judge for San Bernardino County Superior Court.
"We are calling on other counties - superior court counties - to partner with tribal people from those areas to highlight the paid holiday of California's Native American Day," Ramos said.
