Indigenous Peoples Day. Has a nice ring to it. What does it mean?

Indigenous: adj. originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native.

Well, they'd be wrong with this name. None of the people on this continent occurred naturally here. Thus, they are also not native.

This is revisionist nonsense. There was certainly no knowledge or intent to kill millions(which did happen). The Spanish wanted to convert or enslave the natives, not ti kill them. This isn’t genocide like Rwanda. It’s a tragedy of history. Putting horns on Columbus’ head is nonsense. He was a product of his brutal age but not evil.

Hell, after reading past the headline I am disappointed...I thought they were going to rename ‘Seattle’. Surely they could find a name that better reflects the leftist pigs that they are.

That’s what I say! Put their money where their mouth is. Find a nice native family, give them your job, your car, your home, your possessions, your bank account, and return to where your people came from.

I always thought we should rename Columbus Day...Explorer’s Day. Since we all know that the Vikings were here 500 years before Chris was.

It means:

We’re the people who killed and drove off the other people before you got here.
