Carson City (Wednesday), April 16, 1997

Assembly called to order at 11:01 a.m.
Mr. Speaker presiding.
Roll called.
All present.
Prayer by the Chaplain, The Reverend Thomas D. Tostenson.
Thomas Jefferson once said, "God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are a gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever." Father, lead us in our law making, that we may solve the social ills of our state; that our legislation may not be seen as Band-Aids, but as cures. Let us not worry about the passing fads of political correctness, let us be concerned about correcting the polity. That what we do today shall stand the test of time, and that Nevada shall stand the test of the ages. This we pray in the name of the King of Kings.

Amen.

Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.

Assembly Resolution No. 10--Acknowledging the contributions of African-American explorer James Pierson Beckwourth and urging school districts to ensure that pupils learn about him.
Assemblyman Williams moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Assemblymen Williams, Anderson and Giunchigliani.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Assemblyman Williams:

The legislation being proposed for adoption today was written, researched and submitted by 13 students from Kit Carson Elementary School in Las Vegas. We have the honor of having those students with us here today in our Chambers. This legislation was their legislation. To reiterate the remarks of the Speaker this morning, it's good to see the young people in our schools moving and working toward providing a bright future for Nevadans.

I think it's highly appropriate and timely that today we not only acknowledge the contributions of James Pierson Beckwourth, but also those of another group, the Clampers, who for 49 years have preserved, studied and maintained the history of the West in Nevada.

James Pierson Beckwourth played a very significant role in some of the most exciting events in 19^th century American history. A friend and associate of men like Kit Carson, William Ashley and Jim Bridger, he participated in the development of the third trail to the Far West, and, of course, the California gold rush. Perhaps even more important to historians is the fact that Beckwourth, who was regarded as one of the most honest traders in the fur business, left a record of a very packed and colorful life.

The value of Beckwourth's memoirs to us has already been demonstrated by its widespread use in American literature and in 19^th century American history.

Beckwourth is also known for his work as a guide for the United States Government and as a trader. Beckwourth's discovery of Beckwourth Pass led to the development of the Comstock Lode and much of Nevada. The fact that Beckwourth recorded his exploits teaches children the importance of having the ability to read, write, think and record. The fact that Beckwourth discovered a path in the mountains that greatly facilitated the passage of many immigrants into this country teaches children the importance of caring and sharing with people who may be different and understanding and reaching out to people who may need them. The fact that Beckwourth lived and led several Indian tribes teaches children the importance of and the rich history of our Native Americans. The fact that the students from Kit Carson Elementary School in Las Vegas, who are with us today, researched and studied the life of Beckworth teaches all of us that James Pierson Beckwourth--the trapper, hunter, mountain man, guide, and writer--deserves a place in American, and more importantly, in Nevada history, along with men like Kit Carson and John Frémont. I urge my colleagues to adopt this resolution.

I rise in support of the resolution. I cannot pass up an opportunity to recognize Mr. Beckwourth's accomplishments and the contributions of Black Americans to the development of the West. In our search for the West, Beckwourth is one of those individuals in American history--much like Jeremiah Johnson--who we often overlook. Those mountain men who led the way West clearly set the standard of behavior that we should all practice--to look for the way to accomplish the goal for all without looking to personal engrandizement. Beckwourth clearly showed that quality in all of his activities.

Like many other early travelers, sometimes we don't recognize what an unusual event Nevada history is in the move westward. Most of the early settlers crossed this state and then, having crossed the area, turned around, recognized the great value that they had walked through, and then wanted to rediscover the area. Beckwourth's Pass led to the rediscovery of Nevada by providing the smallest and shortest crossing with the least elevation through the Sierras and thus the greatest and safest passage. His contribution is extremely important, and clearly the young people from Kit Carson Elementary School understood this. It is a very easy resolution to support.

I, too, rise in support of AR 10. As school districts debate the issue of naming of public facilities, such as schools, they tend to forget about the history. There has been more of a practice lately of naming after individuals who are in the "here and now" rather than those who have contributed something, such as this gentleman. I think it's proper and responsible for us to react to students who have researched something, being able to bring that to our attention and then call on local districts around the state to name schools after this type of an individual.

I would urge our support for this. As I've been sitting here, I've recalled that one of our colleagues, who I think was very much a contributor to public schools in Nevada, former Assemblyman Marvin Sedway, has never had a school named after him, and maybe this will be another approach that I'll bring back to this body for consideration
