Once proud traditions gone

The motion on establishing "Indigenous Peoples Day" will be heard at a special meeting of the Los Angeles City Council Rules Committee:

• Indigenous Peoples Day Hearing
• Wednesday, June 14, 2017, 6:00-8:00 pm
• Los Angeles City Hall, Room 340

We will be attending and encourage everyone to bring family and friends and attend as well.

The Los Angeles Native American-Indigenous community has been working in collaboration with the City of Los Angeles for more than a year to educate the City Council on the critical importance of this motion.

Join in for what is sure to be the final hearing before the motion is voted on by the full council in late June.
