November has National American Indian Heritage
Month
What
began at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of
recognition for the significant contributions the First
Americans made to the establishment and growth of the United
States has resulted in the month of November being designated
for that purpose.
Early Proponents
One of the early proponents of an American Indian Day was Dr.
Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca Indian who was the Director of the
Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, New York. He persuaded
the Boy Scouts of America to set aside a day for the "First
Americans," and for three years the Scouts adopted such a day.
In 1915, at the annual Congress of the American Indian
Association meeting in Lawrence, Kansas, a plan celebrating
American Indian Day was formally approved. The Association
directed its president, Rev. Sherman Coolidge, an Arapahoe, to
call upon the country to set aside a day of recognition. Rev.
Coolidge issued a proclamation on September 28, 1915, which
declared the second Saturday of May as American Indian Day and
contained the first formal appeal for recognition of American
Indians as citizens.
The year before this proclamation was issued, Red Fox James, a
Blackfeet Indian, rode horseback from state to state, seeking
approval for a day to honor American Indians. On December 14,
1915, Red Fox James presented the endorsements of 24 state
governments to the White House. There is no record, however, of
such a national day being proclaimed.
State Celebrations
The first American Indian Day to be celebrated in a state was
declared on the second Saturday in May 1916 by the governor of
New York. Several states celebrate the fourth Friday in
September. In Illinois, for example, legislators enacted such a
day in 1919. Presently, several states have designated Columbus
Day as Native American Day, but it continues to be a day we
observe without any legal recognition as a national holiday.
Heritage Months
In 1990 President George Bush approved a joint resolution
designating November 1990 as "National American Indian Heritage
Month." Similar proclamations have been issued each year since
1994.
National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month is
celebrated to recognize the intertribal cultures and to educate
the public about the heritage, history, art, and traditions of
the American Indian and Alaska Native people.

MAS90 User's
Conference 
This year's User's Conference was very successful based on
your feedback. We had over 30 people attend the full day
event. Many people said that they enjoyed our last session,
which was the Open Panel Q&A on any MAS90 topic.
Suggestions for next year ranged from classes on individual
modules to a half day class just for people who are new to
MAS90.
We hope everyone who attended benefited from the classes
that day and we look forward to doing it again next year.

This month's Windows Tip :
A Little to the Right (Excel)
We all know how to copy the contents of one
cell to another, right? I'll bet you don't know about this copy
shortcut. You can copy the contents of one cell to the cell
that's directly to the right of that cell by selecting the cell
to the right and pressing Ctrl-R. Did you get that? For example,
to copy the contents of cell A1, you'd select cell B1 and press
Ctrl-R. Similarly, you can copy a cell's contents to the cell
below by selecting the cell below and pressing Ctrl-D. To copy
the contents of cell A1, you'd select cell A2 and press Ctrl-D
