“We’re Still Here”: Indigenous Peoples’ Day Celebration Reflects Ongoing Resistance to Colonization
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2019
- Christopher Columbus arrived in the Bahamas 527 years ago this week, unleashing a brutal genocide that killed tens of millions of Native people across the hemisphere. Cities and states across the country are acknowledging this devastating history by rejecting the federal holiday of Columbus Day and celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead to honor centuries of indigenous resistance. Alaska, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin have all officially recognized Indigenous Peoples’ Day. So have more than 130 cities and counties, from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas to smaller places like Livingston, Kentucky, and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Last week, Washington, D.C., became one of the latest to recognize the holiday. Washington, D.C., the District of Columbia, takes its name from Columbus. We speak with Iakowi:he’ne’ Oakes of the Snipe Clan. She is a Mohawk of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. She is the executive director of the American Indian Community House in New York.

@Hiccum Blurpaedius what an absolutely IGNORANT thing to say! Please stop!
We see you. I'm sorry there are so many idiots in this world. You're a strong people, but nobody should deal with the crap you have to.
First Nation People and newcomers from the world.May Peace,Friendship,understanding flourish between us!
@@mexicanamericanpresident8554 you need help you racist
Today Trump tweeted, "Happy Columbus Day" I tweeted back. I thought we decided we were not going to acknowledge that any longer? No answer of course. Happy Indigenous peoples day. I am Italian, but today I celebrate the Native Americans.
As a Native American I'm more offended by Elizabeth Warren using my people to further her career

Even more than the Washington DC NFL nickname?
Why give the idiot any attention!
@@whiteeaglearai2481 you must be a white liberal white liberalism is a sickness that needs to be cured
@@tonyfat2458 But I see that you didn't respond to C J Titan's comment which is just as valid. Which is more offensive to you, a white woman's wack ass attempt at cultural appropriation or the use of human remain war trophies by a corporation for economic gain and branding?
Blessings to Native Indigenous Peoples' Day.🙏😇
Thank you. Happy indigenous day.

You're entitled to celebrate whatever you want. I find it hilarious that many Americans celebrate this holiday and had the audacity to label people from other countries as "murderers, terrorists," etc., Osama, Hussein, Hitler, have all been portrayed to Americans as the most vile, and the most despicable humans who ever walked on earth and they agree. But we have a man, which History tells us the atrocities he committed against the Indigenous peoples, and a holiday is made for him? I laugh at the stupidity and hypocrisy of some of you guys. 🤣 but hey, you re entitled to celebrate the holiday! I now see why he's a "saint" to you Racist assholes. Lol
What a regal womxn!
Many blessings Indigenous People everywhere!
Regal? She's a leftist fool. One of those who wants to brainwash you, the way she's been brainwashed.

Thank you for this one Amy and DN! Love, honor and respect to all people of mother earth. Today let us remember, acknowledge and love the Natives and First Nations of Turtle Island, now known as the America's. Love from the Mi'kmaq Nation!

Columbus Day is a holiday hell day for the Native Americans!
Please celebrate out of love for Native Americans, not out of hate for European or whites
My favorite holiday, I wish everyone a great day forward.
We still here that's why it Indigenous People's Day Everyday We still here We still Here We Still Here Pomo Indian Straight outta Robinson Rancheria
I dont' care if we no longer celebrate Columbus Day. He was never on this continent. But i am celebrating Thanksgiving no matter what. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I am Cherokee native American Indian from Cherokee north Carolina and my husband is black creek Cherokee native American Indian
k?
Such important coverage. Thank you for having this guest today, to speak on this subject.
I dont give a crap what they call it as long as this County worker gets his day off .
I hope, some day, it will turn into reparation day to the Native-Americans. I couldn`t be happier, then.
I am Blackfoot cajun french... my heart is heavy
I hope someday the same vigor would be demonstrated on July 4th.
That would be an idiot move. China would love that! They are waiting for the picking & natives won’t survive alone.
Happy Indigenous Day!
Decolonize your mind!
Happy Columbus Day. You can decolonize without rejecting RUclips and all modern technology form your live.s
Christopher Columbus, the FIRST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.....
I have no problem with indigenous peoples day.
i think its idiotic and stupid
reclaim you culture , really having wars between other tribes, that's part of your culture, we saved you all from yourselves
A few wars is better than smallpox, murder of lives, culture, language. rape, not to mention the near extinction of bison and other wildlife, forced religion,. Could go on n on.
I need a new Grass hut
i've been reading A People's History of the United States, and the first chapter is "Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress'. This is where I've learned about Columbus and his ways, i just learned this guys in 2019-2020. My Dual Enrollment teacher is white and she was very upset about this chapter before we even read, and i learned why, this Zinn boook, isn't just a textbook. Textbooks will sugarcoat ever thing. I'm literally mixed with native american, and i never really knew this. So they've really blocked out the native americans history from everyday books, and that's crazy yo. I will not celebrate Columbus Day anymore, Indigenous People's Day needs more recognition!!
WAKE UP, just like i did.
1. fuck off 2. Columbus wasnt nice but Indians were not nice either btw if they didnt Sugarcoat what happened between blacks and white or "native" and white their would be even more issues because both sides would still be resenting each other like right now but much worse 3. we celebrate Columbus because he found America nothing else even though Columbus wasnt the first person to find America Vikings were 4. i dont know how you didnt learn any of this i learned all of this shit in middle school
wonderful.
Cherokee here
Change it to Indigenous and Hispanic heritage day. We would love to share this day as a holiday because our ancestry is one and the same.
Why Hispanic???
@@joehoang4826 Because this is our heritage month and we celebrate dia del mestizaje and dia de la raza back home, on the same day.
krieg9 And what is dia del mestizaje? And what is back home? This is not Mexico
@@joehoang4826 it's the day when native americans and europeans got together and made children (us).
I am not Mexican but thanks for your interest.
krieg9 Then explain to me what dia del mestizaje is and why you are using the Spanish language. I don't know what indigenous you are referring to. Be specific and I have something to respond to.
Thank you
So..We know vikings were here before Columbus was. American Vikings day...yeah....truth.
Incas are still here. Tawantinsuyu kawsachun. Ñukanchik manara wañurkanchik. And I was taught that Columbus first landed in the lower part of hispañola where Spanish is spoken. While Bahamas and Haiti were given to the English and French.
anyways he wasnt even the first person to land on "america" the Vikings were
It will now be called "something else" day .... LOL
2020 is 400th anniversary of Mayflower settler ship colliding into Turtle Island. The Community House in NYC is very important, tons Natives live in NYC as Termination Era sent them to cities. She carries Oakes family name, important Mohawks. All read Pagans in a Christian Land by Steven Newcomb for DOD background. Or Robin Dunbar Ortiz or Nick Estes etc
We all came here except the Native Americans remember your history White Americans and stop the hate of all races. We are all Gods children.
Amen
If all white people hated non whites you would be here right now.
@ Where did you get that from ? Coming willingly is not the same as being forced. Descendants of slaves would be here because whites wanted free labor. To get it they stole then sold Africans.
No indigenous people were here before AnyNative Two different Beings Native were brought indigenous were here and we are still here
@BrandonUS TheVer Unfortunately both are true, I read the log books of slaves being entered in to port in Puerto Rico from the 15th century to the 18th century and yes some of those African slaves were sold to the slavers and others they had to capture themselves. Why dance on such fine a point when they're both true?
I knew I'd be looking into slavery when I tried following my genealogy but I had no idea that I would spend nine months reading slavers logs that spanned over 300 years, just to figure out where my family came from. It's a travesty brown people can only Trace their lineage back handful of generations and yet some white people because can follow their genealogy back 20 Generations because they weren't forced to immigrate by the point of a knife and sold into slavery thousands of miles away from their original home, forced to marry those they didn't want to and their children sold off to be even farther flung than they were.
And im traceable Blackfoot indian...mothers side. Lets go brandon.
it's the 21st century and this is ignorant. before anyone attacks me, i am native american.
About time!
The largest in NY why because they are the indigenous not Native URBAN natives. are the indigenous to the land the soul the soil 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🏹🏹🏹🏹
United we are a strong people. Many of us travel between the rez and urban areas.
There are a lot of dead people still walking on of Christopher
Muh white privilege
We now have parade in NYC
I am cool with celebrating Indigenous People's Day as long as it is not an anti white day.
The Letter of Columbus to Luis De Sant Angel Announcing His Discovery
Wow, Iakowi:he’ne’ Oakes, you hit it out of the park. You made a difference today. :)
Don't need no donations The government dept the government going around the globe taking land and resources than the government needs to take responsibility of the damage it organized to do around the globe or meet the law.
There is nothing to celebrate Columbus for - unless you consider the legacy of colonization, genocide, slavery and environmental destruction a good thing.
yes we are!.. this sucks!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Indigenous people, natives etc. ancestors migrated here from Asia long before anyone from Europe came here. They fought and killed each other long before white people came here. Many Indigenous and white people married and had kids, That is a fact. Some natives killed white settlers and some white settlers killed natives. It is the history of the world. If any white people believe they are now living on "stolen land" get off of it then! Don't stay here on land you don't' think belongs to you. Leave here! I have no problems or issues with the indigenous people. They have a rich history and culture. I personally believe we can all live here in peace adn harmony with one another. Peace to all!
Happy Indigenous People Day!
Indigenous people's possess the keys to health, ecology, and community. Thanks God they still here for Europeans to LEARN the key to real WEALTH and living which is not to do with exploitation and abuse but what Jesus himself was pointing at. Jesus has more in common with indigenous people's WAYS than with modern day CORRUPT religion and churches after his name.
Happy Columbus Day.
Jesus was not in common with Indiginous tribes if sacrificing there prisoners was allowed.
Look up this video below. Neil has some interesting comments about the impact of Columbus coming to America:
Neil Degrasse Tyson Columbus
PapulBull👿🤬👿
Same in Australia, America/ australia* what's the difference
I was blessed to be raised by an intelligent, unbiased father who taught me the true story of colonization and the horrors the Godists who call themselves christains did to the native people of the world.
Blaming Christians for slavery???? Oh please. You dad taught you false history then! I am a Christian and I have never colonized anyone or owned a black slave!
You hate it so much then leave.
Even though natives did exact same thing to the Europeans the only issue was Europeans technology is way better vs people with stone age technology and most natives died from the diseases
Native Americans did the samething to there own people or other tribes. The secrecy of the Golden age of Cahokia tells it all.
October 8, 2021, Happy Indigenous People's Day! Honor to Native American Indian!
"honor" god i hate the political "correction" bullshit
its pathetic if yall want to honor natives stop destroying the country we live in now! and STOPPP WITH ALL THE BULLSHIT
The history of the world is every country,state,kingdom fighting each other .That’s the way it’s been and still is, and will continue to be until…..Isaiah 2: 4Then He (Jesus) will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
Happy Columbus Day !!! 👊🇮🇹👍 BTW this woman is delusional playing the victim ain't going to get you nowhere.. and indigenous peoples days to remind us that you're still here we name practically everything after the natives... 🤣
how come is she wearing American clothing, what a fake, cultural appropriation
🎊
Have you ever wondered what the Native American nations’ immigration policies are?
Yes Ihave. Do they have any? How does one become a Cherokee or Seminole?
@@johngluck6938 oooh, yikes. See, they are ethno-states. You might be able to live on their land as a second class citizen, but you can’t become one of them. Darn it, huh? Those ethno-states.
Wow, hundreds of millions of people. He must have been God to have super human powers like that. And he never even entered the US and did all that eh? Amazing.
It's Canadian Thanksgiving today as well. Barfffffffffff. Colonial Day!
Why don't you go live in the UK then !!!
Hooray native americans! Down with Columbus! What, give my land back?? Oh, now thats a bit much....i'll just comment my support on RUclips to show how progressive I am.
Where is my apology:
n 1649, Brébeuf and another missionary were captured when an Iroquois raid took over a Huron village (referred to in French as St. Louis).
Together with Huron captives, the missionaries were ritually tortured and killed on 16 March 1649.
Brébeuf was beatified in 1925 and among eight Jesuit missionaries canonized as saints in the Catholic Church in 1930
DC is named after Columbia not Columbus. Columbia is named after Columbus, but there is a degree of removal.
They Came Before Columbus! Africans landed in the Americas 700 to 800 Years before Columbus!
The books in the library of Congress said that and showed that the indigenous peoples of America were different shades of black. Why are y’all still lying about the color of the indigenous peoples We have all the evidence we need
And buy stocks of these private prisons on Wallstreet and earn millions........
I am so amused every time I hear the descendants of European colonisers refer to INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FROM MEXICO AND LATIN AMERICA as illegal immigrants. What gall.
They are illegal immigrants, new country was built and anyone who born in the united states is a citizen and American if youre not born in the united states youre a immigrant thats how it works even when Europeans came they were immigrants but during those times it was allowed sense you know no actual big country was made mostly just tribal people with stone age equipment
Wow this maxe me so happy this is a dream come true for me . I tell other ppl that I know it should matter to them but nobody making a big fuss I'm overly excited I wanna blow up confetti throw a block party pop some fire worx come on ppl this is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig deal we need to get our themes right for the future because its begone . 👣👣👣🔥👣👣👣

why do you care about a dead man so much.
@@kevinroach7363 Who said I cared about him? I was just wishing everyone a Happy Columbus Day. Why is your last name the same as one of the most detested insects in the world?
I am really sick of Native Americans and Caribbean's are always portrayed by mass media as a bunch of light-skinned people. Yes, there were light skinned Natives and Caribbean's as documented, but a vast majority of European documents reveal that many Native America and Caribbean tribes also had dark skin .
I remember seeing dark skinned Native Americans in the Indigenous Women and Amazon fire protest last month and said to myself, these women would have been easily erased from history because of a complexion.
P.S. For people who consume a lot of the whitewashed, hypocritically European education of "history," not every Caribbean and Native Americans have or had straight hair. Read and research those documents.
Alot of us are light skin due to colonization when have Spanish grandfather and Native American Mothers. We are mixed does not mean in not Native American.
@@citlalie9791 No, not "Alot of us" are light skin due to colonization. Some tribes also married with those who were forced to enter the Americas. Because of this, many tribes and tribal people became unrecognized as "Native Americas."
Also, many of "us" fought in wars against each other that where sparked by the Spaniards and French for the benefit of the Brits. Darker skinned Native Americans that became captive during those wars became enslaved. Some later regained freedom, while others became trapped in slavery (removing the tribal identity once known).
The very fact that Native Americans and Caribbean's were called "Indians" should sound the alarm about the skin tone of many Native Americans and Caribbean's. The word "Indian" during those times was (and still is) associated with people who have "colour," or "brown." The arrival of dim wit columbus also described the people having "Copper" skin, in which copper is "brown" skin. Other historical documents (not taught in MANY schools), for example documents written by the Spaniards and other Europeans, have made statements that many tribes in Florida (which stretched all the way to what is now called "Texas") had "Course" hair, "broad" nose, and almost looked like the "Negros" of Africa.
Light-skinned "Native Americans" are so quick to deny dark-skinned Native Americans, where many are also not aware of their Native American ancestry because of the invention of racism.
P.S. I am talking about Native Americans and Caribbens throughout the AMERICAS, not just freaking North America.

First time meeting a Native person was in college. I was super busy studying science and spent hours weekly in laboratories, so I wasn’t very well-read or well-informed on much else. My only knowledge of the USA’s founding was the version taught to me in middle and high school: the Euro-centric, whitewashed, tidied up version. It’s brainwashing, pro-empire propaganda.
I had no idea back then - we’d share joints and I’d ask him questions and for his opinions...even my questions were naive and off-base. I was so astonished and humiliated during these conversations, I mean I knew those events were bad in a vague sense, but I had no authentic understanding of any of the catastrophes inflicted on the people living here when Europeans first started trickling in.
Looking back, I’m just absolutely stunned at the lack of transparency in our education system. It’s constructed within a wholly American Exceptionalist framework that dictates what ‘facts’ and people are learned about and revered, and which ones are forbidden knowledge.
Colombus is like the hitIer to hispanics
Happy COLUMBUS day everyone
@Christopher Sabionski snowflakes
@Christopher Sabionski r u a Libtard
Awwww, someone wants to be edgy and controversial. Isn’t that the saddest thing? Lol
They are mad they lost, they conquered the land from other tribes before we conquered them they didn’t magically come from the land they took it through blood and then they didn’t create any society so we conquered them when we found them and created society we are not sorry you are welcome
When you think about it, wasn't Colonization the original diversity movement? 🤔
History has winners and losers....get over it.
yeah and you are the losers.
Sick of people being interviewed claiming to be native American even though they are obviously not. You can't even come across a real native American anymore, so you have to pull out the 10% ones
Big Brother I understand that. But then she is not native American. These people know nothing about that culture or even the language.
The concept of blood quantum was not widely applied by the United States government until the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. At that time, the government required persons to have a certain blood quantum to be recognized as Native American and be eligible for financial and other benefits under treaties or sales of land.
Basically if you decide to come off your reservation and start a family, eventually they will no longer be considered Native Americans - It's a further perpetuation of the genocide America began.
Remember everything the Nazis did was legal and everything Americans have done to the Native Americans was also legal.... Think about that!
BlowItOutYourCunt I understand all that and agree with it. It was a genocide. But what I am saying is why I often have to see these people on Democracy Now who claim to be Native American even though they seem to have mostly European features. Most Mexicans have more native blood than her. I would want to hear from a native American and not always people like her.
@@joehoang4826 the point is that they are the seed of they're indigenous ancestors.....
@@joehoang4826 who r u to decide what an Indigenous person should look like? you can't tell if someone is Native just by looking at them, it's incredibly ignorant of you to decide that these ppl you see are not of the culture they claim. Have you ever been on a reservation, bc everyone looks different.. Nords, Chinese, Spanish and European have been to North America for almost the last 1000 years, think about it
Why is the lady being interviewed claiming to be native American? She only looks a tiny bit more native than Elizabeth Warren. More European descent than native for sure.
Tens of millions, more woke nonsense. Please show where these massive populations existed and how they were supported.
Whatever you say settler, go back to Europe.
