Subject: RE: BS: Indigenous Peoples Day
Ebbie: I am not in a regular work environment, so I haven't noticed anything in that venue. When I was working, I worked for a company owned by a native corporation. I truly don't recall when it changed, but other changes are occurring: The name change from Mt. McKinley to Denali, from Barrow to Utqiavik, and the gradual falling off of the acceptance of the word Eskimo. Was just talking about all of the above at the fundraiser Monday night for the Alaska Representative Mary Peltola. I think 'seamless' is a good word from my POV, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks nursing resentments over any changes.
