I’ve seen some of those videos, it’s a disgrace that we tolerate this.

The American Indians have TWO days they can all all their own. They won those days, no one can take them away from them.
Aug 10, 1680. The Pueblo Revolt in which they drove the Spanish out of New Mexico.
And
June 25, 1876. Little Big Horn.
But n-o-O-o. They want to glom onto Columbus Day in which the tribes did nothing worth remembering.

Great news. :-)
Judge: “Now, an Indigenous Drag Queen People Day would be legal.”
Indigenous People’s Day should really be called Conquered Peoples Day, it’s more accurate.
Only took four years, and "Regardless of the prospect of an appeal, City Council could codify the change from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day."
