The fourth annual protest by the Oldgrowth Alliance included leaders and youth from Native American and Alaska Native communities speaking out against the annual holiday honoring Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas. Protest organizers say that Columbus could not have ""discovered"" a western hemisphere already inhabited by about 100 million people. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)"
