Columbus Day parade goes on
For the first time in almost a decade, the city of
Denver, Colorado, prepared itself for a Columbus
Day Parade.
After Italian-American leaders
broke an agreement in which they
promised to drop all references to
Christopher Columbus,
American Indian and
Hispanic leaders vowed to hold a peaceful
protest in response. Many wondered
what would happen in the city where
threats of violence shut down
the last scheduled parade in 1992.
Talks between the groups continued
up until the event, but no new deal
was arranged, although the parties
agreed to meet again to discuss
next year's potential parade.

The campaign continues
The Presidential campaign continued with the major
story of the week being the first debate
between Al Gore and George W. Bush.
The debate was definitely a spirited match,
but it was one without Green Party candidate Ralph
Nader. In town with Winona LaDuke for a planned
rally, Nader wasn't invited to attend the
debate, either as a candidate or as a spectator.
With just a month left before the election,
most polls place support for Gore and Bush at
nearly even. Who will sway the election? And
in what states?
The pundits and planners keep guessing, but in some states,
Native American voters are being actively
courted to the polls and are participating
more in the electoral process.
