Today, October 14, 2024, is known as Columbus Day. Some states have proposed legislation to legally replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which is the only right action to take.
I don’t acknowledge Columbus Day because it’s more of the same; entitled males making unilateral decisions without regard for anything but their own selfishness.
Columbus Day has since come under fire as a celebration of a man whose arrival in the Americas heralded the oppression of another group of people: Native Americans.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day honors the truth about the American soil on which we live. It serves as a counter-celebration to Columbus Day by recognizing the perseverance and contributions of Indigenous people across the United States.
Even the Angel Kids know what this day really is all about, and good for my son/DIL talking TRUTH to the next generation.

As an outsider looking in I do feel sorry for the indigenous people. Folks just marched in put a stake in the ground and claimed land. (if I’ve understood my history from school corectly) IT was theft on a grand scale. BUT it was inevitable.

How sad that it WAS/IS inevitable, that humans are so atavistic and ruthless. One reason I stay away from most people.
