Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a day to honor the sovereignty, resilience, and immense contributions that Native Americans have made to the world. Many students learn the phrase, "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue", and discovered America. But neither he nor those that came before him discovered America—because Indigenous Peoples have populated the Western Hemisphere for tens of thousands of years. Changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day is a step towards disrupting oppressive systems and shifts the focus to recognize, honor, and celebrate Indigenous Peoples, knowledge, histories, traditions, and lands. So take some time today to listen and read Indigenous musicians, influencers, artists, actors, & authors.
