Honoring the Indigenous Peoples

                                                               

The decision to reinstate Columbus Day, honoring the man who blundered into a land already occupied and claimed it for Spain, is not surprising for our current regime that longs to go back to the 'good old days.'

That 'discovery' was a disaster for the indigenous peoples who were swiftly enslaved, dispossessed, murdered, or wiped out by disease. 

I guess I'm just too woke to want to celebrate that.
