A bill to authorize the President to posthumously award a gold medal on behalf of Congress to Elizabeth Wanamaker Peratrovich and Roy Peratrovich in recognition of their outstanding and enduring contributions to the civil rights and dignity of the Native peoples of Alaska and the Nation.

This bill authorizes the President to posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to Elizabeth Wanamaker Peratrovich and Roy Peratrovich, two prominent Tlingit civil rights leaders. The award recognizes their instrumental role in the passage of the Alaska Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945, the first anti-discrimination law in the United States. By granting this honor—the highest civilian award bestowed by Congress—the legislation formally acknowledges their lifelong efforts to secure equal rights and dignity for Alaska Native peoples and all Americans.
