I think that was UNICEF, not UNESCO, that tried to usurp Hallowe'en.

Mexicans call Columbus Day "Dia de la Raza." Most (not all) Mexicans have indigenous (pre-Columbus) ancestry but I don't think the rationale is quite the same as with "Indigenous People's Day."

Maybe they should just wait until Jesse Jacskon dies and they can rename Columbus Day after him (Jackson's birthday is October 8).

You're right...it was UNICEF, not UNESCO that tried to hijack Halloween and to latch on to the labors of the trick-or-treating American crumb-crunchers. Many thanks for correcting my error.

I just love the catchy word "indigenous" as in "Indigenous People's Day", don't you? Most people can't pronounce it, or spell it, let alone know what it means.

Real geniuses in the Land of Sky Blue Waters....and more evidence that liberalism is a mental disease.
