Five groups are singled out for recognition. These are those Native Americans born prior to 1900, those pioneers in the American West (California, New Mexico and Utah) before the opening of the Trans-continental railroad in 1869, those pioneers who came through the Hole-in-the-Rock, those pioneers who were associated with the Mormon Colonies in Mexico, and finally those associated with a unique Religious experiment - the Home of Truth.
