Mayor designates Indigenous Peoples’ Day, asks mutual respect

It’s official: In Seattle, the second Monday in October is now Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Mayor Ed Murray signed the measure Monday.

By Daniel Beekman

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray called for mutual respect among the city’s diverse communities Monday while signing into a law a resolution designating the second Monday of each October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

The resolution, approved by the City Council last week, angered some Italian Americans because Columbus Day, a federal holiday associated with the celebration of Italian heritage, is on the same date.

"Italian heritage"??? what the heck?
