"Enacting Indigenous People's Day sends an important message of reconciliation and will serve as a reminder of our state's proud native history."
Despite the good news, however, there is still plenty of progress to be made. On Monday, Montana failed to make Indigenous Peoples' Day a state holiday after the bill was defeated by a state Senate panel. The committee chair, Rep. Dee Brown, R-Hungry Horse, cited financial reasons.
“I can’t support another state holiday,” she said. “We are trying to scramble for money for in-home health care for people.”
But ... but ... he killed people.
