Perhaps, as a Native American myself, I get a wee bit touchy on Columbus Day. My family never celebrated it. I remember, even as a young child, hearing the whisperings and grumblings of the family every October. By fourth grade, I was a grumbler myself. What, pray tell, are we celebrating on Columbus Day? A greedy, violent, baby-killer's bumping into Cuba? Celebrating Columbus Day is akin to celebrating Hitler Day.
I have included a link to a video about the true history of Columbus, for your perusal.
What are we teaching our children to value when we celebrate a person like Columbus?
