Too many people don't know history, it seems.“Indigenous, Aboriginal and Native People - Day?”
Here's a thought. Dump the whole thing and replace Columbus/IANP Day with Leif Erikson Day on 9 October. He beat Columbus by some 500 years and actually landed in North America.

Indigenous Peoples Day to Replace Columbus Day After Los Angeles City Council Vote
The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to eliminate Columbus Day from the city calendar, siding with activists who viewed the explorer as a symbol of genocide for native peoples.

Over the objections of Italian American civic groups, the council made the second Monday in October a day in L.A. to commemorate “indigenous, aboriginal and native people.” The day will remain a paid holiday for city employees.
This, I agree with. Now the rest of the states need to follow suit.
Your thoughts?
So how do we celebrate?This, I agree with. Now the rest of the states need to follow suit.

Indians didn't HAVE to do anything of great importance. It was their home. They liked it just as it was...with all that gold as well. No pollution, no destroying natural gifts the land supplied, etc.Indigenous Peoples Day to Replace Columbus Day After Los Angeles City Council Vote

It's the latest thing to do, getting rid of statues of evil white men. Let them have their fun even though the Indians never did anything of any importance, unlike the European explorers, scientists, and inventors. In my opinion, left on their own, the Indians would still be clearing forests by burning down trees and massacring one another when things got too crowded.
But everyone has chosen the ways of the White manIndians didn't HAVE to do anything of great importance. It was their home. They liked it just as it was...with all that gold as well. No pollution, no destroying natural gifts the land supplied, etc.
But, I waste my breath.
You know NOTHING of history. Good riddance to these savages.They liked it just as it was...with all that gold as well. No pollution, no destroying natural gifts the land supplied, etc.
More idiocy. Liberals intend to completely erase history as we know it and replace it with a fake one they like better.
Liberalism is based on fakery. Fake tits, fake dicks, fake women, fake men, fake food, fake feelings, fake everything.
Tipsy,
You would have slapped the bejeezes out of that man liberally after trying to explain to him---more than once---that he did not go to Asia. He insisted that he had. Went to his grave thinking he had.
Because he developed navigation by stars, the first to do so and had the data to show others how to return there.Your thoughts?
Let's ask the Arawaks.
Oh, no..about that. Yeah.......
As an Italian-American, why in the hell are we celebrating a guy that died thinking he discovered Asia? Why are we celebrating a guy that never set foot in North America?

He never stepped foot in the Americas.

Erikson did not chart his voyage and he did not share what he knew with enough scholars that people were able to follow him as columbus did.Too many people don't know history, it seems.“Indigenous, Aboriginal and Native People - Day?”
