In addition to Columbus, Queen Isabella, venerated as a Servant of God in the Catholic Church, was covered up with a tapestry depicting a turtle and two rats
The University of Notre Dame administration has now covered the schools 12 murals depicting the life of Christopher Columbus, which generated protests and petitions from Native American groups on campus.
The 12 tapestries showing Native American symbols and wildlife native to Indiana and are now placed directly over the Columbus murals. The Native American symbols belong to the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, who invited the religious congregation that founded Notre Dame to todays campus.
The tapestries show turtles, rabbits, foxes, rats, bears, eagles and fish, as well as a variety of plant life. The Native American borders consist of both natural and geometric motifs of the Pokagon Band, according to the university.
In some places, the edges of the original Columbus murals can still be seen. They were commissioned in 1884 by the founder of Notre Dame, Rev. Edward Sorin, and painted by Vatican artist Luigi Gregori. The murals depict Columbus as both a Catholic and American hero, and were meant to inspire patriotism in the immigrant Catholic community that populated Notre Dame.

Nah, everyone is tired of Pocahontas and her antics, the statues will be of Kamilla of the Imaho Tribe LOL
Anything on the genocide, slavery, human sacrifice and cannibalism of tribes against other tribes?
I,be always wondered why we say DAYM and the French say DAHM.
I suppose it was Ara Parsiegian, or else Digger Phelps.
Notre Dame needs to honor Native Americans properly by turning off the electricity to the university—and keeping it off.
Hold classes in teepees all winter long!
And if Columbus had never “sailed the Ocean Blue,” the New World would have still been found by Pedro Cabral of Portugal.
Perhaps the American Indians wish the New World had first been colonized by the Chinese as they may have mapped part of it in the ancient past.
Those Indians provided a wonderful score for Last of the Mohicans. I especially like Promontory.

Touch-down Jesus better watch out.
Southern Michigan has a huge heritage from the Pokagon Band. There is a Pokagon State Park in Angola, Indiana. As a child Pokagon flavored pops were very popular in the area. All in all, sad to see Columbus in the dustbin at ND. I think they could have found a proper place for the new tapestry.
