It’s time to recognize that celebrating the life of Christopher Columbus also celebrates the erasure of Indigenous existence.

While there is a growing movement around the country to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day, more work remains to be done.

We are excited to share some local and national events celebrating Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Peoples Day.

So, this year, it was not lost on me how Washington State sort of remained quiet this year. Yes, there are commercials and festive activities locally. However, not only was columbus day absent from School District calendars, but not much was said about Indigenous Day, and it wasn’t on a School calendar either
