Indigenous People's Day

I note that there are no "days" for Jews, Poles, Chinese, Vietnamese, inter al.. I, personally, am not alarmed by this dearth. Certainly Columbus initiated a frenzy of greed and cruelty perhaps unmatched until the 20th century. On the other hand, anyone who believes that native Americans themselves were completely innocent of aggressiveness and cruelty needs to read more and better history. We are all--and always have been—“in this together.” The definition of what is wrong with us is not limited to particular periods or nationalities. It is is coextensive with our very species.
