Flagstaff explores celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Flagstaff may join several other U.S. cities in creating an Indigenous Peoples Day.

Council members voted unanimously last week to have city staff start a process to determine whether the city will move forward with the idea. The holiday would encourage celebrating Native American culture annually on Columbus Day, the second Monday in October, the Arizona Daily Sun reports (http://bit.ly/1UibnzL ).
