How arcata can justify doing buisiness on indigenous peoples week is certainly amusing, and potentially inconsistent with their public posturing.
One would expect a city ordered economic shutdown to deify the others amongst us!
A week to pull messy and dangerous sidewalk weeds AND pay homage to people that don’t pull but pick weeds!
Pulling vs picking weeds, that’s good. A friend had come to our house and into our yard, quite overgrown by some neighbors’ standards. The friend, naively thinking they were doing good, pulled a Dandelion (not a false Dandelion, though we have those also) out of the ground, roots and all, then proceeded to smile awaiting thanks. My wife, the Witch she is, flew . . . off . . . the handle. The friend’s face went white. “WHAT THE [curses],” she exclaimed, “I just got that established.” She quickly, but delicately (didn’t know that action was possible), yanked the herb from the friend’s (now fast approaching acquaintance status) clutches and began repotting and watering the poor naked beneficial plant.
A rose by any other name . . . , but, even a Redwood is a weed if it’s growing where you don’t want it to grow. And a Dandelion may be someone’s morning tea.
