@realdlhughley @eddiegriffin @cnn #thefirstcaravan. I wonder if the reason some folks are afraid of the caravan is because of what was done to the natives when they welcomed this caravan. #500Nations During the Mayflower II's visit to Provincetown, the 42nd General Congress will be able to witness the setting of the historical re-enactment of the Signing of the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor in 1620. The event will include a Memorial Service and Wreath Laying in the harbor, followed by a luncheon and program at the base of the Pilgrim Monument.

We watch this documentary series as a family during these times of the year..it is American history from the perspective of Native people.. You can find them on youtube... #decolonize

Saw this floating around. Fixed it!

This time of year many people in the US and across the world take time to remember the tragic loss of life incurred during the 9/11 attacks. Without getting into "inside job" conspiracy theories or accusations of "chickens coming home to roost" (a la Malcolm X), I think we can all agree that the violent deaths of 2,977 unsuspecting innocents is abhorrent. But injustice and terror reside in far more places than most people are comfortable admitting. This week my classes will delve into Precolumbian (pre-European contact) indigenous history and hopefully take an honest look at the lives and cultures of a diverse indigenous population pre-1492. Among other activities, I'll screen the "Clash of Cultures" episode of the _500 Nations_ documentary series. It will be a transition activity that will introduce students to the often brutal or otherwise interactions between Europeans and Native Americans in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The documentary details the conflicts that arose between the conquistadors and people like the Taíno of the Caribbean, the Timucua of modern Florida, and the English abuse and exploitation if the Inuit. Lots of people seem to think--or even say aloud--"That was the past. Why can't you just move on?" A few of my own students have expressed similar sentiments over the years. There are many responses one can give to these perhaps ignorant or callous types of statements and questions. One of them is, "Would you say the same thing to 9/11 families? Holocaust survivors?" And what we should remember about Native American history--without diminishing the ugliness of other historical tragedies--is that armed attacks were not one-time events. Using various forms of violence against the indigenous the indigenous population became systemic and systematic. Violence became a tool of imperialist expansion and colonization--and we see it in the actions of governments against their own or neighboring populations to this day. So why do we not forget and just move on? Because remembering is an act of resistance, an act of defiance, an act of dignity, and an act of humanity. #500Nations #clash #culture #indigenous #NativeAmerican #Inuit #NDN
