N-W school board accepts move to Indigenous Peoples Day

Columbus Day is no more, at least where the Niagara-Wheatfield School District is concerned.

Following an impassioned presentation by a group of students, the district's board of education has agreed to a request to have the holiday that has long honored explorer Christopher Columbus as Indigenous Peoples Day in the district.

The change came as a result of advocacy performed by members of the district's student council, Native American Club and their advisors.
