Another Perspective on Columbus Day.

Last year I posted that I didn’t know what to think of Columbus Day anymore.

This year I wanted to share this short video, made by a Navajo man seeking to further reconciliation and understanding between the native and immigrant peoples of our land today. 



And again this Columbus Day I want to say it: thank you, to the host peoples of this land. I ask your forgiveness, undeserved though it is, for my people who did not ask your permission to come in–who instead have done you much hurt. And I thank you for sharing your home with me.
