The Native American side of me (Chippewa) takes a bit of offense at some of the crap posted here. Native Americans lived simply and light on the land. Whites live hard on the land and pollute and destroy it.
Whites broke almost all treaties with the Native Americans.
This country was founded on deceit, greed, lies, theft, slavery and genocide. The one thing it wasn't really founded upon was Christian values.
Since you've got a Saint Patrick Day for the Irish drunks and a black history month, as one day wasn't good enough to satisfy them, I'm all for an Indigenous Peoples Day and you can shove your opinions to the contrary.
Celebrate the contributions of indians?? HAHAHA. Before the white man came, no indian tribe even had a written language. They were stone age people and they still would be except the white man takes care of them.
Columbus Day will now be Indigenous Peoples Day in Seattle Fox News
oct 6 2014
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.
You're not answering the question. You don't have to be part of the negotiations to have an opinion, and it would only make sense that since you believe Columbus was a bad person that you wouldn't want to see your federal workers getting a paid day off in the name of Columbus. Right ?But I would assume since you believe Columbus was a bad guy, that there should be no one getting a paid day off in his name. Right ?So I take it then you'll be out on the streets protesting the Postal union for celebrating Columbus Day as a paid day off.Patriotic Americans learn about our history warts and good looks all. That is what the mainstream of American does.
The left learns only about the bad, the far right only about the good, and real Americas learn it all.
That's a federal government and union negotiation, and has nothing to do with Seattle.
See how that works: good looks, warts, and all.
Already answered and dismissed. You are not ready for the big leagues, bub.
Columbus was a mass murderer, folks.
The native peoples have every right for their holiday, and if Seattle wants to give them Columbus Day, no one of any intelligence really cares.
Oh, another thing. Every day is White History day.
Grow up.
You can shove your Pollyanna beliefs too. You have a very naive view of what went on in North America, many tribes very violent and took land and people as slaves, robbed and murdered. This land was not the garden of Eden. Have you ever heard of a buffalo jump? Some would run a whole herd off a cliff when they could only eat and use a small fraction of the aftermath.The Native American side of me (Chippewa) takes a bit of offense at some of the crap posted here.

They are power mad and live in a bubble universe. They are obviously bitter about Berkeley getting all the good libtard press and are working hard to dethrone them.What I'd like to know is when did a "city counsel" get this much POWER to act like it's the government in the state?
The Incas and Mayans and Aztecs didn't have a written language?Celebrate the contributions of indians?? HAHAHA. Before the white man came, no indian tribe even had a written language. They were stone age people and they still would be except the white man takes care of them.

We were not boozers until the White man came.Bunch of goddam boozing welfare bums do nothing but drag down america. Fact is the indigenous people of north america and south america and africa don't have the intelligence for technology.
As it should be, we built this country.
Yes, we were part of it, with slave labor, Californios, Irish economic labor, Nuevo Mexicanos, southern dixie backs who swam the Red and Sabine illegally into Tejas, and so forth and so on.
It was all of us, bub.
When a race is enslaved, that proves they are inferior. THINK
The left learns about everything, we just do not ignore the bad the way 'patriots' do.Patriotic Americans learn about our history warts and good looks all. That is what the mainstream of American does.
The left learns only about the bad, the far right only about the good, and real Americas learn it all.
