Native Americans in the Past‚ Present‚ and Future? Many people in today’s world do not realize just how important Native Americans were to our country many years ago and they definitely do not realize the impact they have made in our present time. This is why I made the title “How Important are Native Americans in the Past Present and Future.” This lack of knowledge in regards to Native American impacts is largely caused by the school systems in our country. They tend to leave out all of the things

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993‚ or FMLA‚ as it is usually called is thought to be one of the most important pieces of legislation by President Clinton.

The Cherokee should stay and fight for their land because it was given to them from their forefathers as a gift. The Cherokee should be able to

(full-time) after their maternity leave. According to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) states a mandate of 12 weeks of unpaid leave for mothers of newborn and adopted children (United States Department of Labor‚ 2017).
