Communities Celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day from Coast to Coast
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Cities and states from coast to coast are celebrating Indigenous
Peoples' Day today, rejecting the official federal holiday of Columbus
Day. Last week, Washington, D.C., became one of the latest of over 130
cities, counties and states to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Sunrise ceremonies are being held this morning from Randall's Island to
Alcatraz. We'll have more on Indigenous Peoples' Day later in the
broadcast.
