Bruce Lauritzen: Correct Downtown Omaha "Pioneer Courage" Display
First National Bank of Omaha, NE, has an elaborate multi-block display titled: Pioneer Courage https://www.firstnational.com/site/about-us/in-the-community/sculpture-parks.fhtml which ignores the contribution of Native Americans. The Bank has acknowledged the oversight but is noncommittal as to when it would be corrected. If you agree that First National Bank is obligated, by virtue of being a public business, to provide a timely, accurate display and should correct their web site and place a public display advising of their oversight, please sign the petition.
Why is this important?
Omaha, NE First National Bank, of which there is a subsidiary in Kansas, has an elaborate display about the pioneers which ignores Native Americans. They perpetuate the tendency of American business to ignore contributions of invisible "people of color". The Bank has acknowledged the oversight. However, they were extremely noncommittal about when the correction would be done. That the Native Americans were overlooked in the initial planning is inexcusable. If you agree that First National Bank is obligated, by being a public commercial entity, to provide a timely, accurate display and should correct their web site and place a public display advising of their oversight, please sign the petition.
