Missoula County supports SB 141, Create Indigenous Peoples’ Day, scheduled for hearing in Senate Education and Cultural Resources on Wednesday afternoon. Thanks, Senator Morigeau, for carrying this bill.
Missoula County has already renamed the Columbus Day holiday in October to Indigenous Peoples’ Day through a proclamation. We would be proud to celebrate a state-recognized holiday in honor of our indigenous friends and neighbors. The seat of Missoula County government sits on Salish aboriginal territory, and SB 141 provides an opportunity for us to honor and remember that.
Senators Salomon, O'Brien and Olsen,
