So, I said this on facebook...

really???? Goodbye, Columbus. Hello, 'Indigenous People's Day' Seattle marks its first-ever 'Indigenous People's Day' on Monday after its city council voted unanimously this summer to toss Columbus Day overboard. The streets are expected to be filled with citizens from the Native Nations — Lummi, Nooksack, Tulalip, Sauk-Suiattle, Swinomish, Puyallup, Colville and dozens of other Washington tribes that call the Seattle-area home. Not everybody is happy about the change. Some Italian-American Seattlites felt the change comes at the expense of what to many was Italian Heritage Day.
