most important thing. This is another great example of a white person thinking I know what is needed! Please take this as a suggestion to encourage you to think big at this time and to suggest some questions to ask before making your recommendations. One other thing I would like to point out is that usually in October the City of Roseville has a proclamation for Indigenous pushing the Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission and the City Council to make all of the Proclamations more meaningful by actually referencing how the proclamations are connected to residents in Roseville, and I have asked them to do programming related to the proclamations too. name by October, but I think it would be great if along with this done to change the name of Pocahontus Park. I imagine in the future every Indigenous proclamation could include references to the park or parks that honor the Indigenous People and why it is important to have them. The question that we like to ask when we are looking at what t this action is meaningful, or it could also show that it is possible to move fast when the situation warrants it. Thank you again for your thoughtful consideration of this park name. The fact that none of you questioned the need to change the name gave me great hope that more and more people in our community, and especially those representing our City, are ready to accept responsibility and do the work to really live up to the Inclusion and Respect Statement.
