Resolved: Kansas City Favors Indigenous Peoples Day Over Columbus

That post headline isn't just another crackpot TKC bloggy joke . . . Actually, it's a resolution cooked into the muni-code of Kansas City at 12th & Oak.

In fact . . . 

KANSAS CITY LEADS THE NATION IN RESISTANCE AGAINST COLUMBUS DAY!!!

Here's more reporting and context . . .  

Kansas City, Missouri, began formally marking Indigenous Peoples Day in 2017.

Its resolution named the Kaw, Osage, Missouria, Shawnee and Wyandot as the region's original inhabitants, reframing the day to center Native stories . . . 

Columbus Day remains a federal holiday. But a growing number of states — at least 17 — and D.C. now formally recognize Indigenous Peoples Day, sometimes in place of Columbus Day and sometimes alongside it. Others simply don't recognize either as a state-level holiday.

That's AI slop story keeps people dumb . . . 

As we noted not so many years ago . . . 

The city hall resolution language approved by Mayor Q is actually kinda harsh against the Italian explorer.

Check-it . . .  

"WHEREAS, the second Monday of October is currently a federal holiday commemorating Christopher Columbus, credited with the discovery of the Americas, though his atrocities are well documented, including admission in his own journals of his murder, rape, torture, and enslavement of Indigenous Peoples across this land . . ".  

Now . . .

We DON'T want to convince anybody one way or another.

However . . . 

One of our favorite TV shows, The Sopranos covered this topic in a classic episode that was written by Michael Imperioli who was one of the younger characters on the show at the time and so we share a classic moment that's actually very subtly layered via www.TonysKansasCity.com embed . . .
