"SEATTLE – The Seattle City Council is replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day in the city.

The resolution that passed unanimously Monday celebrates the contributions and culture of Native Americans and the indigenous community in Seattle on the second Monday in October, the same day as the federally recognized Columbus Day.

Tribal members and other supporters say the move recognizes the rich history of people who have inhabited the area for centuries.

"This action will allow us to bring into current present day our valuable and rich history, and it's there for future generations to learn," said Fawn Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation on the Olympic Peninsula, who is also president of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians.

"Nobody discovered Seattle, Washington," she said to a round of applause.

Several Italian-Americans and others objected to the change, saying Indigenous Peoples' Day honors one group while disregarding the Italian heritage of others."

Washington state has a great many Injuns within its borders and a excessive number of dimwits in the Seattle area. Columbus was an imperfect human. So? What he accomplished had tremendous historical impact and for that alone he ought be honored. Besides the closest he ever came to WA was when he touched land in Central America on his 3rd voyage.

Establish a day honoring the contributions of our redskins, such as casinos on every reservation, but don't dishonor Columbus.

Yes. Enjoy it Tribal dudes because it will only be a matter of time before the stink starts and these Injuns are called out for their brutal savagery and their despicable past.

Wonder what Kenniwick Man thinks of this...
