City of Springfield Raises International Tribal Native American Flag

Mayor Sarno states, "It’s always important that we honor our Native Americans for not only their legacy, but also, what they continue to do for our Springfield community.  I want to thank Gentle Running Deer and the Native American Inter-Tribal Council.  They tirelessly work and serve our community by educating our children, donating clothes to the homeless and representing Springfield and Western Massachusetts when attending dedications, meetings, gatherings and conferences along the east coast.  As such, it is important to recognize and acknowledge the many contributions the Native American Community have made to the City of Springfield, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and to the United States of America.”
