Hello, Senator X, 

I'm writing in support of LB848, introduced by Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks, that would make the second Monday in October of each year be called Indigenous Peoples' Day in Nebraska, replacing Columbus Day. 

It is long overdue to acknowledge that Indigenous peoples were here long before Europeans/Columbus arrived and to honor the Native peoples that inhabit Nebraska. I hope you will support the bill! 

Thank you!
