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.

Interesting also is the Kennewick man. He was found many years ago in Kennewick, WA. Scientists had to sue to get access to him, since the feds didn't like the ramifications. He was not indigenous and predated "natives" (who were from immigrants themselves).
Scientists Mysterious Kennewick Man looked Polynesian and came from far away - The Washington Post
The origin of Kennewick Man is relevant to the future disposition of his bones. Native American tribes have claimed him as one of their ancestors and have sought to rebury the remains in keeping with their customs. The scientists argued that there is no evidence linking any of today’s tribes to the skeleton.
I hope the poop bags come with instructions.And Seattle is the definition of todays white liberals, they have more dogs than kids. It's the best thing about them.
A hundred castellanos are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand, and for all ages a good price must be paid.
