Why this petition matters

Started by Elizabeth Bahena

In the forefront of a city building is a statue of a man that symbolizes nothing but atrocities. Apart from not even actually “discovering America” CC was a man who brought turmoil to natives. Before heading to court, to apply for a marriage license, or even just renewing your car tabs is a statue that is only there to remind us all that our system is against us. Walla Walla is native land. We should not hold colonizers in a higher regard than those who were here before them. This statue should be removed. I am not considered native by the USA standards because I’m Mexican-American but I am a woman of indigenous descent and I denounce this statue and you should too. Please help me to bring this forward to Walla Walla City Council and have this statue removed from public property.
