<br />To see if the Town will vote to replace the Holiday
<br />"Christopher Columbus Day" to "Indigenous Peoples
<br />Day", or take any other action relating thereto.
<br />Submitted by Petition
<br />Explanation: Native's Day) is a holiday that
<br />celebrates and honors the Indigenous peoples of
<br />America and commemorates their shared history and
<br />culture. It is celebrated across the United States on the
<br />second Monday in October, and is an official city and
<br />state holiday in various localities. It began as a counter -
<br />celebration held on the same day as the U.S. federal
<br />holiday of Columbus Day, which honors European
<br />explorer Christopher Columbus. Some people now
<br />reject celebrating him, saying that he represents "the
<br />violent history of the colonization in the Western
<br />Hemisphere". Indigenous Peoples' Day was begun in
<br />1989 in South Dakota, where Lynn Hart and Governor
<br />Mickelson backed a resolution to celebrate Native
<br />American day on the second Monday of October,
<br />marking the beginning of the year of reconciliation in
<br />1990. It was instituted in Berkeley, California, in 1992,
<br />to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the arrival of
<br />Christopher Columbus in the Americas. Two years
<br />later, Santa Cruz, California, instituted the holiday, and
<br />in the 2010s, various other cities and states took it up.
<br />The Board of Selectmen recommends approval on
<br />Article 30 by a vote of 3-2.
<br />The Finance Committee recommends approval of
<br />Article 30 by a vote of 3-1-1.
