in nevada county in califonia, they celibrate indiginous people's day on that day instead. i guess i'm one of the few people of mostly non-indiginous origen who was already aware of most of that. there have been books written about it; 1492, the invasion of paradise, something like that, is one of them.

today's dominant culture is one that for a long time (as long as it has existed) has put money ahead of people, and while pretending to care about 'democracy', continues to sweep atrocities under the rug. and while many of the biggest ones are in the past, they haven't really entirely stopped. they just happen in other parts of the world, where faux news can lie about them, and the corporate masters of 'western democracy' hate al jazera for refusing to.

the lands that native people were left with because nobody else wanted them at the time, are still being robbed for oil and coal and other natural resources.
