Columbus Day, No. Indigenous Peoples Day, Yes

[Pb]

I'll have to look it up, but I think recent archaeology is pointing towards the ORIGINAL settlers from Asia being like the Ainu people of Japan who were displaced by the Indians when they came over. (Note: I use what the "indigenous peoples" prefer to be called.)

If I remember correctly- that idea came from the ancient skeleton of the Kennewick man, who looked kind of Ainu in his features.

DNA testing apparently demonstrated he was just a regular Indian though.

Good thing I don't have one.

Has to taken in context of "when Europeans met North Americans"

I did a double take on it at first.

It's not even that.

Leif Ericsson day was Sunday, beating Columbus yet again.
I propose open enrollment for Norse self identification and all like minded individuals henceforth celebrating October 9.

So do they think there were zero Clovis people left before the Asians came over?  Was South America settled when the Clovis people were in North America?

The indigenous peoples were all friendly and good natured . . .

Now you can look to see who owned your land before it was violently stolen from them.  This will help you to know where to send the reparations check.

Interesting that it only seems to track the last known Indian tribes it was "taken" from, not the tribes that they took it from.

That map shows basically three tribes covering all of New England. So how is it that Connecticut alone has reservations for four tribes (three federally-recognized), several other [alleged] tribes vieing for recognition, and none of them are the same as the several tribes in Maine, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island?

This is a map of the Coast Salish people: the tribes of lower British Columbia and western Washington.  I am in the Stillaguamish area and I support them by eating at the casino: they have a good brewpub with beer brewed on site.

The map shows FIVE different tribes all "owning" the land I'm on, including Comanche, Apache, Tonkawa, Jumanos, and Coahuiltecan. Never heard of the last two, but I didn't know that they all peacefully shared territories that way.

So on what day do we celebrate when the natives freed their slaves?
