The following is from information distributed by the American
Indian Movement (AIM) of Colorado:

COLUMBUS DAY PROTEST

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1992 DENVER, COLORADO

Columbus Day started in Colorado and we're going to stop
it in Colorado!

In 1905, Colorado became the first state to proclaim Columbus
Day a holiday.  That it why it is appropriate, on the 500th
anniversary of the invasion by Columbus, to stop the holiday
in Colorado.  For the past three years Colorado AIM has warned
the city of Denver and the state of Colorado about continuing
their racist, anti-indian parades and monuments to Columbus.
This year, parade organizers have promised a "massive" parade
in celebration of Indian genocide.  We will be at the parade
to blow out the candles on Columbus' anniversary cake. We hope
to see you there, too.

Camping sites available beginning Oct.8/ Ceremonies Oct.9

This is a very serious demonstration.  Absolutely no drugs,
alcohol or partying of any kind.

For information call: (303) 871-0463 or (303) 892-7011


In peace,
Barbara

Thank you for posting this, Barbara. I have been asked, by the
American Indian Anti-Defamation Council to add a note to this
post. AIM will be staging a *peaceful* demonstration starting
at 7:00 AM Saturday, Oct. 10, 1992 at the Civic Center Park in
Denver, Colorado. The dates Oct. 8 & 9 on the above flyer are
not part of the demonstration and should not have been posted
nationally. You are invited to stand in solidarity with AIM on
Saturday. -Michele]
