#abolishcolumbusday

[woodland-fairy-tay]

Today, October 11, is Indigenous People’s Day! I celebrate this holiday by recognizing and honoring the vibrant culture, heritage, and history of all Indigenous people! Following up, I want to say that Columbus didn’t discover anything. You can’t discover what’s already here!! I grew up never celebrating “Christopher Columbus Day”. For my family (specifically Father side, Mother side we don’t know in terms of Native roots), with my Cherokee roots and or ancestry, we take pride in celebrating Indigenous People and all that they’ve done in this land both past and present. We try to do our best in respecting and maintaining this land appropriately and teaching the young and old how to appreciate, respect and do more for this land through generations. Just like last year, take the time to educate yourself on Native/Indigenous People’s history and culture. RESPECTFULLY!!! I can’t stress that enough. Please be respectful of what your learning and sharing with others! Again, Happy Indigenous People’s Day!!!!

#monday Racism and colonialism are the henchmen of capitalism-don’t forget the end game. Recognize that everyday is #indigenouspeoplesday. Support indigenous artists today in some way and 🖕🏽 Columbus. #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #capitalismkills #capitalismsucks #Repost @storyofwealth ・・・ "Settler expropriation of Indigenous lands required a logic that could be woven into the legal fabric of the US. This logic was explicitly stated in 1823 in the first Supreme Court case involving Indians, Johnson v. M'Intosh, when Chief Justice John Marshall opined, 'On the discovery of this immense continent, the great nations of Europe were eager to appropriate to themselves so much of it as they could respectively acquire. Its vast extent offered an ample field to the ambition and enterprise of all; and the character and religion of its inhabitants afforded an apology for considering them [the Indians] as a people over whom the superior genius of Europe might claim an ascendency.' And just like that, with the stroke of a pen, Marshall invented the Christian doctrine of discovery, which would become the legal rationale for the continued violent appropriation of Indian lands and the engine powering federal Indian law still in place today." - Dina Gilio-Whitaker (@dinagiliowhitaker), AS LONG AS GRASS GROWS (Beacon Press, 2019) #storyofwealth #aslongasgrassgrows #indigenousauthors #doctrineofdiscovery #settlercolonialism #celebrateresistance #indigenousresistance #indigenousresilience #indigenouspeoplesday #indigenouslivesmatter #landback #abolishcolumbusday (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGP7c5rgfPQ/?igshid=zyybcumpt8vs

Happy Indigenous People’s Day…This is your yearly reminder that Christopher Columbus was NO HERO like they taught in school. The real truth is he raped, stole, and pillaged his way to the US from Europe. He GOT LOST and thought he was in India (thus the reason he called the Indigenous People Indians)…And lastly ONCE AGAIN you CANNOT discover a place where people already live!! That’s like me coming to your house and saying “Oh look what I found – This is mine now!”…Stop whitewashing the real history and acknowledge that there were brown people already living here when Columbus stumbled onto this continent…#ChristopherColumbusWasACriminal #AbolishColumbusDay #HappyIndigenousPeoplesDay❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPccKSltPG/?igshid=1fdmki3e7hf7j

Columbus was mass murderer, torturer, rapist, a genocidal monster and one of the key people who started genocides of millions of Indigenous peoples in the Americas as well as the transAtlantic slave trade.  People need to stop celebrating him and start celebrating those who survived the genocide and those who resisted, as well as remembering those whose lives/cultures/ways of living were lost.  And part of that is taking steps to support Indigenous rights now and working against genocide of Indigenous people that is still happening now.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day!!! As someone who is proud of her Black with Cherokee Native ancestry, please try and remember that this is stolen land that we are living on and we need to respect and cherish this land that Natives live and thrive on!! Christopher Columbus didn’t discover anything!!! You can’t discover something that was already here with people who lived and flourished here!!!!! Just because you didn’t know whose land this is and the people who lived here doesn’t mean you DISCOVERED it!!! We need to RESPECT Natives as this is their lands!! This land was TAKEN from them and they want their land back! As they should! Please take the time today and perhaps your life, to learn about natives and how we can help them!!! Thank you! ✊🏾🙏🏾

YOU ARE ON NATIVE LAND // Indigenous communities gathered this morning to demand an end to official Columbus Day designations. The Los Angeles City Council just voted to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day! 👏🏽 Props to LA for knowing when to drop an outdated racist colonial legacy that represents institutional oppression, genocide and exploitation. History has been made today. When we Rise Up AsOne we win ✊🏾 Decolonize! // 📷: @grandpark
