The resolution commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Alabama Indian Affairs Commission (AIAC), which was established by Act No. 84-257 signed into law by Governor Wallace on May 7, 1984. The AIAC was created to address the unique cultural and sociological needs of Alabama's American Indian population, which includes over 35,000 families from various recognized tribes. The commission's responsibilities include advocating for Indian affairs, facilitating access to resources for Indian citizens, and promoting the rights of these communities to maintain their cultural and religious traditions.

The resolution expresses the Legislature's commendation for the AIAC's role as a liaison and advocate between state and federal governments and Alabama's tribal communities. It acknowledges the commission's efforts to support Indian citizens in their pursuit of cultural identity while fostering unity with fellow Alabamians. The resolution concludes with best wishes for the continued success of the AIAC in the future.
