Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino has long been effusive about his Italian heritage, bringing opera singers to City Hall and posting YouTube videos about his family’s tomato sauce and his parents’ move from Sicily.

Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, a member of the Wyandotte Nation, is equally passionate about his Native American roots. When he took office four years ago, he was sworn in by his tribe’s chief, who performed a traditional blessing at the event.

Shouldn't the name Los Angeles, full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula," ("The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels on of the River Porciúncula) be itself eliminarted. The name was given by the Spanish and they did direct damage to the Natives.

[I want the USA back]

The liberals have hated Columbus day for a long time. The recent crap just gives them an excuse to eliminate it. $hit on them.

[BenLurkin]

How about “Los Angeles Hates Italians” Day

How'bout -

Who Ate the Anasazi? Day

 

Analysis of coprolite[edit]

The initial reports speculating that the seven humans had been cannibalized was met with skepticism from some scientists and criticism by Native American groups including the Ute tribe. (The Ute are a separate people from either the alleged victims or the alleged perpetrators.) The Ute have a strong oral tradition of peace between their ancestors and neighboring groups, which is not necessarily in agreement with the traditions of other groups or historical information.^[6]

To investigate the theory that cannibalism had been practiced at the Cowboy Wash site, Richard Marlar, a University of Colorado molecular biologist examined the coprolite (fossilized human feces) found on site and discovered it tested positive for human myoglobin, which is found in human muscle tissue. This type of myoglobin was not found in 20 'control' coprolites in comparable sites.^[7] This indicated the feces contained the remains of digested human flesh.^[8] Malar also found the myoglobin protein during a chemical analysis of a cooking pot at the ancient Anasazi site.

How about “Ingrate Loser” day?

[Cowboy Bob]

What to we do about Thanksgiving? Isn’t that the day we celebrate (give thanks to) Native Americans (Injuns)?

[Jeff Chandler]

Have they run this by the Fugawi or Pesky tribes?

***The Ute have a strong oral tradition of peace between their ancestors and neighboring groups, ***

Say what! a writer going by the name of Maurice Kildare, back in the 1960s and 1970s, lived among the Navajos and often wrote stories of the various wars between the Navajo and the Utes.
Then there was the 1879 Meeker Massacre, Utes against the US Army.

[Crucial]

It’s not like Columbus did anything important. /s

[redcatcherb412]

Shouldn’t it just be called Happy Friday off after Thanksgiving day ?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Libs can’t decide who they hate more. Columbus, Cortez or the 1620 Pilgrims.

No matter, if Columbus had never been born the Americas would still have been found in 1500 by Pedro Álvares Cabral, and people still trapped in the Stone Age would still have been forced into a modern world.

[Uncle Sam 911]

Why not call it We Hate American Greatness Day.

[CJ Wolf]

Rename every holiday “bank holiday”

works for the uk.

[HLPhat]

Viva la what?

[cgbg]

They need to rename the city “Los Diablos” and show their real rainbow colors...

[KarlInOhio]

How about calling it “get your civil servant butt back to work Monday” and remove it as a holiday in Los Angeles.
