“We were here first,” she said. “The first people of this nation aren’t even recognized. ... We’re really on the bottom of the ladder.
“We can’t change history, but we can change the future so our children can know the truth,” Chadwick said. “We’re not Tonto playing cowboys and Indians on western movies.”
There is evidence of Caucasians settled in the North Americas over 10,000 years ago, It has been covered up, By Indian Tribes today..yet it can mean that they (Whites) were even here before the Indians. who realy were Asians who also migrated..so they were never “Native”
also Columbus may have taken Slaves and 500 is no “genocide”...Indians also practiced Slavery in Many Indian Tribe Cultures. so it isn’t even a Moral outrage they are entitled to.
also coulmbus didn’t Plot to bring small pox...so it doesnt even begin to qualify as “Genocide” or that it was “deliberate”
Native Americans have no Moral High ground in any of this
They Treated their women like Animals and “property’ worked them like slaves, took slaves of other tribes..tortured prisoners with horrendous Cruelty...
Lied Cheated and stole... and by the way!!!
have you ever heard of Buffalo Jump? out in the plains of Wyoming? where Indians stampeded heards of Buffalo off a huge cliff where hundreds fell to their deaths? then the indians cut off the prime parts and left dozzens they didnt need to rot? many were probably not killed and left to suffer in agony. so in touch with nature, such great stewards of the Land...bullcrap.
If a name in History needs to be removed it is “Noble Red Man” they were not any such of a thing.
Let the truth be known.
Sad that the youth are being brain-washed. Columbus didn’t come here to spread infections. That’s just plain stupid. P!ss on the left.
If they ever dump Columbus Day, when would the Knights of Columbus have a reason to hold a parade!

I hear you! In a nearby town we have a high school sports team named the Warriors. The school gym has a huge painting on the inside wall of an Indian chief’s profile with a full plains headdress on. The school student body is probably close to 70% American Indian and during basketball and volleyball games the team does a warrior dance, stomping on the hardwood floor, with tom-toms beating in the background. It is very intimidating to the opposing teams and makes me swell with pride to see our country’s wonderful American Indian culture in action.

Up in N. Calif. in my home town the high school is also the Warriors. About every couple of years someone gets their shorts in a bunch and they have a county vote and each time the “Warriors” logo stays. Never the less these idiots try again and again and again and it we keep voting them down.
Glad to hear it. No one would give their own sports team an Indian name if they didn’t admire Indians. Does anyone imagine that “Braves” or “Redskins” is intended as an insult? People want to be proud of their teams. How stupid can you get to think that people would choose a name or a mascot that they didn’t admire or feel good about?
Now that you mention it, it’s not very politically correct to be a Knight, let alone a Knight of Columbus. But I don’t think they’ll change their name or their customs for a mess of political correctness.
PC or not, folks always leave me alone. Perhaps its the sword and the odd black chapeau with the ostrich plume?
