With that in mind, we are merely providing the following information to you.] --- A bill is sitting before the Maryland General Assembly that would proclaim the second Monday of October as Indigenous People’s Day.

"During Christmas I visited my family in Maryland after I had moved to New York. I grew up 20 minutes from Baltimore but had never really experienced Little Italy. My mom is Italian, as is her entire side. The Italian in me is very strong since moving to New York, so I was very much in heaven visiting Little Italy Baltimore!"
