I am indigenous. me and my family has been here about 400 years.
I find it fascinating that these indian tribes cannot tell us where their lands are. Those borders moved all the time as they did, yet, liberals want to claim they had nations that were took from them.
I guess I should have said I think it’s stupid to replace a day honoring Columbus for something called “Indigenous People’s Day”. I don’t have a problem with a day for indigenous people, just not in place of early American Founders and heroes like Christopher Columbus.
It’s in some ways a difficult subject. There are traditions and values in all cultures which deserve to be understood & shared. There does not need to be a day for any of them. Having a recognition day is a liberal feel good practice which is used to deflect from how those groups are disrespected 364 days a year by Liberals.
I see Liberals as trying to glom onto Native Americans to broaden their base using a patently false pretend sympathy & respect. The 1619 project with the attempt to cast European Americans as slavers and distort the realities of the time is disingenuous and self serving, frankly IMO evil. It is amusing to see those same Liberals ignoring the similar Native American practices from the same time so that they can court Native American votes.
