Here in Maryland, we're working on the Native American observance coming up in November at Ft Detrick. Going to be great!

5. Indigenous people vs Native American. My preference is for IP, but it is all a step

in the right direction.

[geardaddy]

6. Yes or First Nations

7. K&R!

8. Outstanding! Here's hoping that list continues to expand to include every city, state and

university in the nation.

EDIT: I'm so delighted to see a growing number of cities from my native state listed, even though Brunswick is kinda half-assing it by still observing Columbus Day.

Belfast, Maine
Bangor, Maine
Orono, Maine
Brunswick, Maine**
Portland, Maine

I knew that Minneapolis and St. Paul had changed the name, but I didn't realize the state of MN had changed it, too!

It's a little chilly in Fairbanks (where there's a great celebration) at 34 above (NOTE the "above&quot and the dance will go on!

[geardaddy]

Dance away!

[Ysabel]

Ann Arbor, Mich.
Traverse City, Mich.
Alpena, Mich.
East Lansing, Mich.
Ypsilanti, Mich.

I hope it spreads.

[geardaddy]

21. Excellent!

19. I like the idea of Election Day as an official holiday instead.

We should still make Oct. 12 Indigenous People's Day everywhere in the Americas.

[geardaddy]

20. Me too.

Election Day should be a national holiday.

[Duppers]

22. This is wonderful!

Once it moves over the country our politicians cannot ignore it.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day it is!
