I feel that Native reality often exists in a sphere not comprehended by the dominant culture.

 Everyday is a Native day for our indigenous spirit communities. 

We do not need a calendar holiday to acknowledge respect for ourselves, the tribal youth, indigenous elders and this precious natural world; but as a rebuttal to the murderous legacy of the U.S. colonial society based upon ongoing violence, removing the Columbus celebration is productive.

As this imbalanced empire continues to struggle with its self and those that have been violated we must realize, a republic can not create distinctions of immigration when all its members are foreigners. So at the beginning of nationhood these founding fathers tenants must look back in the past to understand whose laws and care came first on these lands? Who has the love to preserve and renew such Earth thus not leading the natural life into decay.
