   Notre Dame to cover up Christopher Columbus murals   
      
   The 12 murals created in the 1880s by Luis Gregori were   
   intended to encourage immigrants who had come to the U.S.   
   during a period of anti-Catholic sentiment.

   South Bend, Ind. -- The University of Notre Dame will cover   
   murals in a campus building that depict Christopher   
   Columbus in America, the school's president said, following   
   criticism that the images depict Native Americans in   
   stereotypical submissive poses before white European   
   explorers.   
      
   The 12 murals created in the 1880s by Luis Gregori were   
   intended to encourage immigrants who had come to the U.S.   
   during a period of anti-Catholic sentiment. But they   
   conceal another side of Columbus: the exploitation and   
   repression of Native Americans, said the Rev. John Jenkins,   
   president of Notre Dame.
