A City Council committee Monday ordered city officials to report back in about two months on the possibility of establishing an Indigenous Peoples' Day in Los Angeles, either as a replacement for Columbus Day or as a separate holiday.
The Arts, Parks and River Committee called for the report following discussion of a motion by Councilman Mitch O'Farrell — who is part Native American — to set aside a day each year in the city to recognize the history, culture and achievements of indigenous peoples.
