What’s Changed a Year After Indigenous Peoples’ Day?
It's been a year, but improvements for Native American services are off to a slow start
Drumming, chanting and tears punctuated festivities at Seattle’s City Hall on October 13, 2014, when Mayor Ed Murray signed Indigenous Peoples’ Day into the historical fabric of Seattle on Columbus Day.
