(The Main Presentation of This Issue)

The Introduction:

Many of us will remember our own teaching received about Christopher Columbus and how he “discovered” America and other places/nations globally. But quoted below is a very strong view contrary to this, in many aspects. You can access the full report below:

Quote: Student groups offer different perspective of Columbus Day history.

Columbus Day is a time when many Americans can take a break from school or work in honor of the famous explorer. But for Native Americans, the day signifies the start of an ongoing struggle for their rights….

"People forget issues that affect indigenous people of this country," she said. Christopher Columbus "wasn't a good man, and we want to further people's education about what his legacy has left"….

Columbus "is not a great American," he said. "In my opinion, we should celebrate indigenous people day, and to hell with Columbus Day."

NASU member Hector Cash-Bolanos said Columbus has been portrayed in a positive light because the history books were written by white people, and the Native American's viewpoint has not been represented.

"People have to understand and respect the other reality," he said.
