You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.90.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:02, 6 April 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((more citations needed|date=July 2010))

'''Native American Day''' is a holiday observed in several [[US states]] in celebration of [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] culture. In [[California]] and [[Nevada]], the holiday is designated on the fourth Friday of September, whereas in [[South Dakota]] and [[Wisconsin]], it falls on the second Monday of October. Within each of these states, Native American Day honors the cultural contributions of Native American communities to the respective state's history, as well as to the overall country.  The state of [[Washington (state)|Washington]] celebrates Native American Heritage Day on the Friday immediately following the fourth Thursday in November.  The state of [[Tennessee]] observes a similar '''American Indian Day''' each year on the fourth Monday of September. President George W. Bush signed into law legislation introduced by Congressman Joe Baca (D-Calif.), to designate the Friday after Thanksgiving as Native American Heritage Day.

In 1939, Governor Culbert Olson declared October 1 to be "Indian Day", making California the first state to honor this holiday. In 1968, Governor [[Ronald Reagan]] signed a [[Resolution (law)|resolution]] calling for a holiday called American Indian Day, to be held the Fourth Friday in September. In 1998, the California Assembly passed AB 1953, which made Native American Day an official state holiday, designated annually on the fourth Friday in September. In 2021, the State of California amended section 135 of the Code of Civil Procedure (effective January 1, 2022),<ref>((cite web | url=https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=135&lawCode=CCP | title=Law section ))</ref> making Native American Day a judicial holiday; Columbus Day remains on the list of holidays in Government Code 6700,<ref>((cite web | url=https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=6700.&lawCode=GOV | title=Law section ))</ref> but it is no longer a judicial holiday.

In 1989, the South Dakota legislature unanimously passed legislation proposed by Governor [[George S. Mickelson]] to proclaim 1990 as the "Year of Reconciliation" between Native Americans and whites, to change [[Columbus Day]] to Native American Day and to make Martin Luther King's birthday into a state holiday.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://history.sd.gov/archives/forms/governors/1959-2003/mickelson.pdf|title="Governor George S. Mickelson"|website=South Dakota State Historical Society, history.sd.gov))</ref> Since 1990, the second Monday in October has been celebrated as Native American Day in South Dakota.

On October 3, 2017, The Proclamation of Native American day was announced by the Mayor of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Accepting the Proclamation would be the Lakota-Dakota-Nakota representatives of Sioux Falls.

South Dakota and Vermont, which celebrates [[Indigenous Peoples' Day (United States)|Indigenous Peoples' Day]], are the only states to practice non-observance of the federal holiday of Columbus Day.
