Happy Indigenous People’s Day

Happy National Indigenous People's Day Today I celebrate National Indigenous People's Day. There was a time when I recognized Columbus Day, but after a college history class or two and some research about the true history of the Americas I came to see Columbus for what he really was, an ignorant, racist, colonizer who thought he landed somewhere totally different from where he did land.

instead of recognizing that POS, I want to set today apart to recognize the idigenous peoples of the Americas, and other areas colonized by Europeans and White U.S. citizens.
