Happy Indigenous Peoples Day

Berkley started it in 1992 (on the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ first voyage) and this year up to 10 cities and one state (South Dakota) have replaced Columbus day with Indigenous Peoples Day.

  1. There were TWO major crossings of the Bering Sea land bridge. The first occurred way before the second. The second group is the one the ‘tards call native Americans or indigenous people. Anthropologists discovered graves that were much older than any from known American Indian tribes and when the DNA was checked, it was different.

    The problem was there were no living descendants of these people. Research revealed the answer — the “native Americans” or “indigenous people” that were the SECOND group murdered or enslaved those of the first group. The women they didn’t murder were used to produce children to such an extent that their DNA all but disappeared from the planet. Had those graves never been found, no one would have even known of their existence.

    Extinction. That is what indigenous people’s day is celebrating.

  2. I have mixed feelings about this one. True the European track record when encountering the natives of a new land did not have a good track record when it comes to treating them. But some things like exposure to diaseases were often unintentional and done out of ignorance of medical knowledge we take for granted today. But without European exploration and discovery, what would the current world look like? Certainly a nation like the USA who has created an free market atmosphere that has lifted so many of the world out of poverty would not exist. By rewriting history to celebrate what is fashionable today does not change it.
    And everyone involved in the that far back is dead, so part of me
    says ” get over it and deal with things we can change today”

  3. There is a sense of the inexorable here. When cultures collide: the dominant culture prevails and the weaker culture dies. Same with species: the dominant species survives and the weaker species becomes extinct.

    THIS is why it is imperative that we fight izlam, socialism, progressivism, totalitarianism, faggism, unionism, and #BlackLiesMatter-style “negroism.”

    THAT is why we must NEVER surrender our arms, our rights, our Constitution, and our way of life.

    WE must take the fight to THEM and destroy them, root and branch.

    “Cut them down like a pine.”

  4. Me too. My right am and right leg are Passamaquoddy. Say that 10 times while sober. Passa ma-what?
    Paternal grandmother was Passamaquoddy. Big deal. I look about as Indian as Fauxcahontas.

    ‘enslavement, genocide, and cultural destruction’ – Columbus brought these? Ha ha ha ha there speaks the people with big forked tongues. Enslavement, genocide, and cultural destruction were already a practiced by the ‘indiginous people’ when Columbus arrived. The tribes were quite good at enslaving and killing other tribes. Bunch of BS to act as though they were like peaceful peace loving Muslims.

  5. When Columbus day was changed here in SD, we were all upset over AIM and wounded knee in the mid 70’s. Thanks to Russell Means, we now have Native American day. Pfft. Makes no difference to me, I’m just as native as they.

    I always told my nephews if their ancestors were smarter and fought harder, i wouldnt be here, and they would.
