Columbus Day will now be known as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Seattle.
The Seattle City Council on Monday unanimously approved the re-designation, which acknowledges that Native Americans were living in North America well before Christopher Columbus “discovered America” in the 15th century, Reuters reports.
The change, which will go into effect before the Oct. 13 holiday this year, marks the second major city in the U.S. to officially re-designate the day, after Minneapolis’ vote in April.

They’re not Indians, and they never bought into the idea of America. I think indigenous is about the right term for them. Or simply natives.
All of us here are native Americans.
Then we can change the name of Seattle and Minneapolis to SeaHag and Isisville
I know someone who knew about before. Therefore we must change the title to indigenous Seattle nut ball article.
I thought SF did this also some years ago. People have nothing better to do , then to set around and make up this stuff. Most have no alliance to America, just floating through I guess.
Asians were not here before the Neanderthals!
That is just so lame
That is just so lame
Did they also vote to remove “sicko” (sic.) de mayo from the lexicon too...you know the beer company invented day?
Better watch your language! Those who are "differently abled" will take offense thanks to the leftists who have enacted the cult of PC. As for me, I don't care, words like retard, queer, redskin and so on are an integral part of my rich vocabulary. :)
These are the asshats that changed who "King" county was named after from Vice President King, to MLK. A street through the black community was not good enough for them.
Seattle was a lost cause 25yrs ago when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis; been full of moonbat liberals for decades.
I just call them redskins or injuns (feather not dot). If they have truly assimilated, speak standard English, believe in the One True God, hate abortion and sodomy, then they’re just good old unhyphenated Americans.
“At the town hall and the paper work it is “Native American”. But we call ourselves Indian.”

Because California was a GREAT idea.
Do they not realize that Columbus never set foot on what is now the U.S.?
In a related story, the rest of the normal world has changed the name of the city of Seattle to Libtard Central.
