Alaska has officially renamed Columbus Day “Indigenous Peoples Day,” joining a growing body of local governments moving in that direction.

There are no indigenous peoples in North America.  Everyone and their ancestors came from somewhere else.

Nothing like honoring the same peoples who couldn't discover the wheel or metallurgy, and replacing one of those white people who discovered the Americas. We gonna rename the country the Halls of Montezuma?

I thought Alaska was supposed to be a somewhat -conservative- state?

At this time of year in Alaska, it should be Indigenous Peoples' Night. Now there's a party waiting to happen...

I actually have no problem with this.

Columbus sure as heck didn't have anything to do with them...so let them have a culture pride day.  BFD!
