An increasing number of U.S. states and cities have recognized Indigenous Peoples Day. It marks a pivot from a day rooted in the celebration of Christopher Columbus to one focused on the people whose lives and culture were forever changed by colonialism. apnews.com What is Indigenous Peoples Day? A day of celebration, protest and reclaiming history

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Instead of the focus on Columbus or death, focus on Native Americans as people living in the same world as you today who have always been here. People of Indigenous nations are the subject of the oldest ongoing injustice: theft of land to make the US
