Most of all thank you Duwamish Peoples & the City of Seattle! Thank you Matt Remle (the writer) and everyone who supported, spoke, sang, drummed, organized, funded, and/or stopped to witness today’s pre-voting event and the vote in making “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” a reality for the City of Seattle which is located in Washington State! A thank you also goes out to the Seattle Human Rights Commission, Councilmember Kshama Sawant, Councilmember Bruce Harrell, Councilmember Nick Licata and many more! The following is a piece from the Resolution that was voted on and passed today: “…Res. 31538 – Relating to Indigenous Peoples’ Day; declaring the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the City of Seattle; encouraging other institutions of Seattle to recognize the Day; and reaffirming the City’s commitment to promote the well-being and growth of Seattle’s American Indian and Indigenous community…” The actual signing of the Resolution has yet to be announced.
