Proclaims November 30, 2024, as Native American Women Equal Pay Day in California to recognize the wage gap affecting Native American women in the workforce.

Notes that Native American women earn $0.59 per dollar compared to White men, resulting in an average annual loss of $28,747 and the second-largest wage gap among ethnic groups.

Highlights that Native American women with advanced degrees (bachelor's, master's, or doctorate) lose approximately $1,500,000 to the wage gap over a 40-year career.

Encourages employers and governments to take steps to ensure equitable compensation for Native American women and to promote policies supporting equal pay for all.
