Despite protests from women and Native Americans that murals on the walls of a government building are offensive and inaccurate, they might not be removed.

Complaints about murals on the fifth floor of the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC, are as old as the murals themselves. They depict Indian men attacking naked white women and a white man being stabbed in the back by an Indian man.

The EPA this month said it would ask the General Services Administration, who owns the building, to remove them but the GSA believes they should stay. The building and its art are protected under federal law, they say.
