( Monday NO PO) Native American Day & Columbus Day

Post by Z is for Zangie » Mon Oct 09, 2023 3:25 am

I am good with both or either. See nothing wrong with Columbus Day and like Native American Day...The only Native Americans I know, who are on the Seneca Indian Reservation in NY where I go for Bingo, seem pretty ambivalent about it, they don't mind it as it is, and they also don't mind the Team names, etc either. I think some Indian Activists and a bunch of White people who seem to think they can speak for POC /minorities are behind that attempt to change it. Native Americans aren't monoliths either.

I've known now two or three Indians and they were good. One was a friend. My impressions from talking with them there's a resentment that runs deep among most Indians with government and white people which I'm not going to get into. They have their own ways about things and that's how they like it.
Being respectful works
