What a disrespectful name, “Indigenous”. I thought the point was to play up cultural heritage. Do American Indians want to celebrate being “Indigenous?”. No, if I were them, I would indignant about indigenous.

There’s a good reason the liberal northeast States (except Vermont and Maine) are not changing the Columbus Day name.

Have you ever seen Bernie Sanders attend a Little Italy event?

I had a good friend in my Air Force days who was a full blooded Chippewa Indian.

The terms Native American and First Nations used to piss him off.

He said, “I’m an Injun, damn it, and proud of it!”

Joe, he’s attempting to divide the pie so many times, there
just is NOTHING left for anyone. Really, it is doubtful the dude knows the definition of indigenous. Let alone, knows who
Columbus might be. Indigenous, to him, probably means: to suffer from indigestion, especially at his age.

The Afghans, Cubans, Haitians and others, will they be pleased as punch in this proclamation (just as US Citizens might be)?

The wooden puppet is sick, sick, SICK.
